The 2023 Food Forum will spotlight pork’s contributions to our survival and traditions. In the 16th century, Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto brought 13 hogs to what is now known as Tampa Bay, Florida. A pig population explosion quickly led to pork dishes on tables throughout the New World. From barbecue and boudin to cochinita pibil, the people in the Gulf region of the Unites States have used everything but the oink in culinary traditions passed down through generations. This year’s Food Forum celebrates the history, regional cuisines, and cultural place of pork through engaging sessions, an optional cooking demonstration, and a reception featuring celebrated chefs serving delicious tastes of regional dishes.
Sold out! Tickets will be available at the event, pending availability.
