As an immigrant, chef, and food educator, I’ve seen firsthand how the hospitality industry connects us—from the farm to the table.
My work with the next generation is rooted in this belief, that food is more than just sustenance; it’s a foundation for community and culture.
Right now, that foundation is at risk.
Restaurants, bars, and farms across the country are struggling with severe labor shortages. But there’s a simple, immediate solution: work permits for long-term immigrant workers.
These permits will help keep our businesses running and our communities strong.
The James Beard Foundation is leading the charge to secure America’s workforce, and they need our help.
They’re asking folks in Missouri to sign a petition. Let’s make sure our voices are heard.
Let’s do our part to make a difference.
Will you sign the petition?
