About this Event
Please join the Yale Club of San Francisco and the Yale Alumni Nonprofit Alliance for a special event with award-winning chef, author, filmmaker, founder, and social activist, Elizabeth Falkner. Renowned in the Bay Area for Citizen Cake and Orson, she will share stories of creative ventures in culinary arts, sustainable food initiatives, and lead a private screening of "Sorry, We're Closed”. In her 2023 documentary, Falkner talks with chefs across the country and with Yale Professor of History, Paul Freedman, about the devastating impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on chefs and independent restaurants. (Another of her films, "Food Games Sustainability the Future of Food", was shot on location at Yale and in New Haven).
A cocktail tasting featuring recently launched T’MARO spirits made with California dates will follow. T’MARO, founded by Falkner and partner Heather Freyer, was reviewed in "The Nob Hill Gazette”. Light hors d'oeuvres and beverages will be served. The event will be introduced by Eleanor Pepples, Board Director of the Yale Club of San Francisco and Chair of the Yale Alumni Nonprofit Alliance of the SF/Bay Area.
