Welcome to Cooking Across Cultures!
Cooking Across Cultures brings people together through shared meals and cultural storytelling. We partner with local restaurants and chefs to host monthly dinner experiences that highlight diverse cuisines, traditions, and the stories behind the food.
Each gathering is an opportunity to eat, learn, and connect while supporting small businesses and exploring Rochester’s rich food culture.

Eat across cultures. Connect locally. Join us each month as we explore Rochester’s cultural restaurants one dish at a time
