At the end of Hispanic Heritage Month, we want to shout out and honor our kitchen support team, Laura, Janet, Christina— Mexican women who are our backbone.

Without them, we can’t do what we do. Women like them tend to be out of sight. They are the ones who slice and dice, chop and mop, sweep and clean, and keep most restaurants churning day after day, with very little attention or limelight. 

At Immigrant Kitchen, we spotlight women like Christina, because without them, we truly are nothing.

Let’s give them the flowers 💐 🌺🌸they deserve. Immigrants make America great. 

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month from all of us at BFA + Immigrant Kitchen!

This year, we have added oral histories to our storytelling roster. This provides our cooks with another platform to have their stories, told through the lens of food, told in their own voice— one of the missions of BFA + Immigrant Kitchen!

Check out our first story, about co-founder and director Mecca Bos and our Kitchen Manager Tess.

They staged our first post-ICE surge dinner early this year, telling their story of biracial identity through their cooking, and now this story.

This work is made possible through the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

At BFA and Immigrant Kitchen we celebrate cultural diversity rather than choosing division. Ours are safe spaces, where everyone is welcome as long as you come in with curiosity, an open heart and respect. ✊🏽

Since our inception, we have hosted countless events with many, many cultures represented. We believe that respect for each other’s humanity regardless of our culture or skin color makes our community safer.

Immigrants belong here. We all belong here.

We are still dreaming 💭 of our magical evening at cooking for a special night dining under the skylights and among the incredible collection of artwork 🖼️.

We are so proud to culinary stylings from Afghanistan 🇦🇫, Palestine 🇵🇸, and Somalia 🇸🇴!

Special thanks to Safa, Morsal, Farzanah,, and Deeqa for your continued hard work, generosity, and grace when sharing your important cultural legacy food.

It takes so much to execute a beautiful Immigrant Kitchen event.

Meeting women from all over the world who have important cultural legacy stories to tell through their cooking 🥘, and then introducing them to the professional kitchen where they can gain skills to scale their food up for many guests to enjoy their talents.

There is simply nothing like home, 🍳! Immigrant Kitchen and our cohosts Safa, Deeqa, Morsal, and Farzanah are all thrilled to have the opportunity to present unique legacy food from Somalia 🇸🇴 to Palestine 🇵🇸 to Afghanistan 🇦🇫 to the fundraiser gala!

Don’t forget that Immigrant Kitchen cooks like these are available to cook and cater for your special event.

Thank you to for a magical evening!

BFA had the great pleasure of attending a House of Moana event, executed beautifully by Mounisha Gorle and Aana Agarwal who bonded over their shared love of Indian food.

Moana isfrom the South of India, and Aana is from the North. They collaborate on dishes like ​chaat-inspired Indian bites, paneer pita pocket, Asian cucumber peanut salad, Chicken biryani and Saffron cardamom kheer, served in an intimate setting.

Find out more by checking out and at an Immigrant Kitchen sometime soon!

Tess and I are still dreaming 💭 of Our Biracial Table, the one where we got to come out of the kitchen and into the dining room.

The two of us have been holding down the Immigrant Kitchen kitchen, helping women from around the world showcase their cultural legacy cooking. But just one thing: we have never had the opportunity to showcase our own cultural legacy cooking— until now.

Being a “biracial” or “multiracial” person in the US is a complicated thing. Often we are disconnected from one or more of our backgrounds, making it difficult to draw connections between culture and ourselves. We have to work at it, many times harder than people who have the privilege of already knowing.

This dinner was so special, and so vulnerable, for Tess and I to open up our kitchen, and our hearts to our wonderful BFA and Immigrant Kitchen guests. ❤️

Special thanks to and for your unique perspectives on the Nigerian and biracial experiences.
