We’re thrilled to have renowned chef, successful business owner, and proud immigrant Pati Jinich join us to find common ground through food.

Below, you will find four episodes of Pati’s trips to immigrant-influenced restaurants. She explores the rich history of each of these restaurants, hears the stories of their owners and their pride in being immigrants and business owners, and, of course, gets to try great food along the way. Find out more about the restaurants Pati visited—Buena Papa, Arepa Mia, Heirloom Market BBQ, and Curry In a Hurry—and learn more about how immigration enriches all of us in ways we might not always realize.

Don’t forget to share the videos, and sign up below to download a PDF of the Stories of Our Table e-cookbook, which contains recipes spanning centuries and continents. When you sign up, you’ll also get a chance to win a free signed copy of one of Pati’s cookbooks!
