Community Quest 2021

I (Paul) am halfway through a 5 month quest across the USA (April to August)! I tired of being home and want to:

• Shake off the COVID blues, find my mojo, and get inspired to gather again!

• Listen to you all about what’s possible for post-COVID community.

• Eat lots of awesome food, meet passionate (and long suffering) BIPOC and immigrant food entrepreneurs, and find out how I (we) can help their businesses grow.

• Find out when we might be ready to eat together again.

You know, it’s taken me weeks to rediscover that the world continues to spin and community is the best part of life…hope rising! I’ve visited family and friends in Binghamton (NY), NYC, Washington DC, Raleigh/Durham, South Carolina coast, Sarasota/Tampa FL and now on my way to Nashville.

I’ve eaten lots of amazing authentic food: Peruvian, Pakistani, Caribbean, Creole, Ethiopian, Israeli, West African, Soul, smoked BBQ, Colombian, Mexican, French, Venezuelan, Japanese, Filipino, and South Asian. And met lots of passionate and determined food entrepreneurs…thank heavens!

I’ve recorded lots of interviews with amazing chefs and community leaders and hope they inspire you as much as they have me. Signup for our newsletter to get the details.

BTW - My next stops are: Nashville and Dallas/Ft Worth in mid-June; NM/AZ and Las Vegas in late June; LA in July; and San Francisco in August. And conversations have started for events in Sarasota, FL and Raleigh, NC.
