Jewish Christmas Dinner

Tis the season for the intersection of Chinese food and Ashkenazi classics. This dinner carries on the age old tradition of American Jews getting Chinese food on Christmas.

The meal is hosted by Rachel Ellison (Bat Sarah Press) with food by Chris Reed (The Rice Table) and Dylan Maysick (formerly of Front Room Donuts). Join us for dinner on Saturday, December 22nd.
