Night At The Asian Art Museum in SF 

*THIS EVENT HAS SOLD OUT*

Join other alumni from Haas, Anderson, Columbia and Kellogg MBA for a special Matcha evening event at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco on Thursday August 19th. Now in its sixth year, Matcha is a mixer of art, performance, music and conversation that allows visitors to experience the museum in engaging ways.  

The theme for the August 19^th event is “Drunken Dish.” One of the most famous culinary regions in China is Shanghai. Not to be overlooked in Shanghai’s gastronomic repertoire are “drunken dishes,” where food is marinated in wine. The museum has paired with the Asian Culinary Forum for a feature talk on Shanghai cuisine and a demonstration of making "drunken chicken." Savor signature Shanghai bites made with Shaoxing wine, toast with a drink from the cash bar (one drink ticket is included with your registration), and tour the special exhibition.
