Talking Food at 1900  - The Discussion with Chef Justin Yu

The 1900 Building is the finest office/mixed use building in the Kansas City area. The location (Shawnee Mission Parkway & State Line Rd.) and views are superb. The iconic 1960's gem has recently been restored and expanded to include state of the art performance, conference and event spaces, a cafe/restaurant, roof terrace and LEED Gold certification.

Award-winning Chef Justin Yu talks about how his Chinese heritage influences his food in the latest installment of our Talking Food series!

TALKING FOOD AT 1900 is a series at 1900 aimed to engage, challenge and educate on a variety of topics in the food world, hosted by the 1900 Building and food writer and photographer, Bonjwing Lee. For our first Talking Food of 2023 we are beyond excited to welcome to 1900 Chef Justin Yu! Chef Yu is a phenom in the food world; a multi-time James Beard winning chef whose restaurants in his hometown of Houston have been recognized by Bon Appetit, The New York Times, Food and Wine and more. The timing of this Talking Food is significant as it falls within the celebration of the Chinese New Year (Year of the Rabbit). We are excited to spend the weekend with Justin and Bonjwing (both of Chinese heritage) learning about traditions and flavors of the Chinese-American experience, and how it has all influenced Justin’s cooking today.I﻿f you have found yourself on this Eventbrite page, please note, you are booking your spot for The Talk only which will be Sat. 2/4 from 4:30 - 5:30pm.
