“Family Style” is a group dinner series where every week we visit the “under-appreciated” restaurants from different cultures, in San Francisco. Hosted by The Children of Diaspora, we bring together folks who appreciate the beauty of experiencing culture through food, and through good conversation.
For our 1st event we will be visiting Cantoo Latin Asian Rotisserie in the Tenderloin, owned by Cristina Wu Feng, who grew up in Venezuela as the child of Chinese immigrants. A unique blend of her cultures, the menu includes everything from pabellon and empenadas, to dumplings and fried rice.
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.?
- Unfortunately as a new communal dinner event, we're not able to accommodate food restrictions. Stay tuned as future meals we may accomodate different diets!
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 :)
