These meals serve as a grounding tradition, offering connection and comfort as each family member navigates new relationships, unexpected turns, and shifting identities.From curator Deborah Krasner: “Food functions as the connector in every film in our series, but in this film, food is both a big part of one family’s identity—and yet it’s also what divides them.”<hr><h3>Dinner to Follow the Screening</h3>Prepared by Cai's Dim Sum Catering, and served in the Next Stage Community RoomMenu<ul><li>Dumplings (2 varieties):<ul><li>Kale &amp; Tofu (Vegan)</li><li>Beef &amp; Jicama</li></ul></li><li>Rice Noodles (Gluten-Free, Vegan)</li><li>Asparagus &amp; Mango (Gluten-Free, Vegan)</li><li>Stir-Fried Chicken with Zucchini (Gluten-Free)</li><li>Dessert: Rice Pudding with Goji Berries (Contains Dairy, Gluten-Free)</li></ul>Beer and wine will be available for purchase at the Next Stage bar.<hr>About the Chef: Cai's Dim Sum Catering embraces local produce, pairing the flavors of Artist |Chef Cai's childhood family meal table with fresh produce from local farms.“The kitchen is our studio!
