On November 15, 2021, we held our Fall Conversation, “How Has Food Mended Cambridge?” In a jam-packed session we heard from four speakers about the food scene in Cambridge from the 20th century to the present, exploring the ways in which Cantabrigians ate, drank, and found community in the city’s restaurants, coffeehouses and ice cream shops.
Featured guests included Dr. Merry White of Boston University, Stephen Chen, President of Joyce Chen Foods, Boston University’s Dr. Megan Elias, and Gus Rancatore, founder of Toscanini’s Ice Cream.
Thanks to the generous support of CambridgeSeven and Marriott Boston Cambridge, this program was free and open to the public.
