"Family Style" @ Café Colucci (Vegan Friendly)

“Family Style” is a group dinner series where every week we visit the “under-appreciated” restaurants from different cultures, in San Francisco and Oakland. Hosted by The Children of Diaspora, we bring together folks who appreciate the beauty of experiencing culture through food, and through good conversation. With our 3rd event, we go to the East, both to the East Bay and to experience East African culture. Cafe Colucci in Oakland serves traditional Ethiopian dishes in it's new restaurant space, but has been around for over 30 years. Ethiopian food is vegan-friendly, so just make sure to let us know if you are vegan in the signup form. To attend this event please RSVP here (hit “going”) and Venmo $30 to @andrew-pang (if you don't Venmo we won't be able to reserve a spot for you!) ------------------------------- FAQ 1. What if I have dietary restrictions/am vegetarian/vegan/etc.? - For this meal, it's vegan-friendly but we'll need to know beforehand your dietary restriction in the signup form! 2. What does my entry fee cover? Can I just order on my own? - Currently, our dinner is meant to be eaten communally "family style" so we will order for the whole table. The fee covers the food, tip, and a small stipend for hosts so we can continue to organize these events :) ------------------------------- Andrew Pang (a child of Chinese immigrants and Bay Area-native) and co-founder, Dennis “Conrad” Johnson (a child of Sierra-Leonian immigrants, and long-time resident of SF) have formed a collective called "The Children of Diaspora". Their mission is deeply rooted in bridging communities by celebrating, appreciating and creating a deeper understanding of others’ cultures, especially ones that aren’t highlighted in the mainstream. Together, as "The Children of Diaspora", they curate experiences that resonate with both the traditional and the modern.
