Join restaurateur Piero Selvaggio of Valentino; historian and author Charles Perry; Akasha Richmond, owner of Akasha Restaurant and former private chef for Michael Jackson; and Jet Tila, whose family opened one of the first Thai restaurants in LA, for a discussion of how we created modern and multicultural dining. Moderated by historian and journalist Richard Foss.
