Tables From the Rubble: Book talk with Denise Clifton & owners of Sam Wo

Tables From The Rubble transports readers to San Francisco in the years just after the 1906 earthquake, when restaurants rose to feed the hungry and lead the city’s recovery. Author Denise Clifton will share pictures and stories of the restaurants that came out of the ruins – and highlight a few that still offer food and drinks with a direct link to the city’s century-old past.

She will be joined by members of the Ho family, who will share a bit about what it takes to keep Sam Wo’s legacy thriving in Chinatown. The talk will include a little taste from Sam Wo, and books will be available for purchase for $20, tax included.

Ticket price includes admission to CHSA’s galleries & exhibits. Seats are limited – please arrive early. Unclaimed seats will be released before the event begins. Online ticket sales will end on 9/22/18 at 11am (if tickets are unavailable, please purchase at the door).
