Welcome to Bumble’s IRL Series, developed in partnership with the James Beard Foundation to support queer women in the culinary industry across the country. Join fellow Bumble users for opportunities to connect with others in real life!Â
Bumble has partnered with the James Beard Foundation’s Women’s Leadership Programs to support women in hospitality (this stat likely won’t surprise you, but 6 out of 10 American women have worked in hospitality). And what better way to do so than a shared experience at a local women-led establishment?
The Gefilteria at Oddly Enough (New York City, NY) - Founder Liz Alpern - Liz Alpern is passionate about reimagining tradition and bringing people together through food. She's creator of Queer Soup Night, a global event series raising funds for locally-based social justice organizations. She's also co-founder of The Gefilteria and co-author of The Gefilte Manifesto: New Recipes for Old World Jewish Foods. She's been featured on the Forbes 30 Under 30, the Forward 50, The Cherry Bombe 100 and proudly serves on the culinary council of God's Love We Deliver. As a James Beard Foundation Chef's Bootcamp alum, Liz is activated to see a more just and equitable food system. Liz's food always tells a story, whether it's about her ancestors, the seasonal bounty or the energy of the queer food scene.Â
This event welcomes everyone. We’ll cover the bites and sips during the event, you just RSVP and get ready to enjoy some amazing food!Â
