In celebration of our new exhibition Making It Home, we are excited to welcome celebrity chef Nini Nguyen, featured on Food Network’s Tournament of Champions, for a discussion with exhibition curator Mark Cave from 5:30 to 6 p.m., followed by a signing for her cookbook Đặc Biệt at the Shop from 6 to 7 p.m. Food and drink will be available for purchase at the Cafe until 7 p.m.
