Reboot of a 2019 ArtScience talk on New England Foodways held in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Leah Mennies, a former Senior Food Editor at Boston Magazine organized and hosted the event. Panelist included Food Historian Fred Opie, Chef Irene Li and Chef Marc Sheehan. Both are Cambridge based restaurants. The theme of the talk is the future of New England Foodways--How do we define them now? What does a regional sense of place through cuisine look like? How does the past inform this? How can the storytelling surrounding New England cuisine be stronger/better/more informed?
