Table for All with Buki Elegbede

It's a day out on the water, bring your waders, sunscreen, and life jacket! We'll be out on the water catching up oysters and learning how recycling their shells can improve the whole ocean. Then we'll sail back to Hoboken to have a potluck on the Hudson with the outrigger canoeing group respecting the sports Polynesian and Hawaiian roots.

Buki is taught how to make hand-pulled laghman noodles from a master chef, whip up varenyky en masse with a kitchen General, and learns about the deeper struggle of Uyghurs and Ukrainians here in America trying to support their home country, preserve their culture, and advocate for their people.

Join Buki on a prideful culinary tour!
