SUMMARY:Culture Series: Documenting Culture - How to Be a Humanist

SUMMARY:Yes\, Chef: Stories About Food & Family Drama
DESCRIPTION:Food brings people together but not always how you’d expect. Behind every favorite dish\, there’s tension\, tradition\, chaos\, or comfort. Sometimes all of it at once. This show is about what happens when meals go sideways\, recipes carry history\, and family shows up with opinions. Come for real stories about how food stirs things up\, holds us together\, or turns dinner into something way bigger than what’s on the plate. \nRegister here.
