Using food as a tool for both community and political engagement, these chefs are building new models of food service that prioritize the integrity of fresh ingredients in hospitals, and workers’ rights in restaurants. Through a spirit of ethical, cooperative leadership, this panel will discuss how to activate simple yet radical approaches in the food industry and create menus inspired by place, migration, and community.
