Paris, to point out the obvious, is of course a great city for eating, but is also an equally great city for thinking about eating.

And so it is a pleasure to do both this Friday, where I will participate as a commentator in the “Transatlantic Dialogues on Food, Culture, and Power” Workshop carefully crafted by Mathilde Cohen and Christy Shields and hosted by the American University of Paris.

To provide both food for thought and thought for food, the workshop will conclude with an edible tablescape by the artist Joanna Wong, who is a co-founder of Collectif Enoki.
