Food linked to the stories of immigrant families living in Hopkinsville a century ago will be featured in the next Supper Club gathering on April 9.
Former chef Matthew Brown, returning for his second Supper Club, will prepare the food at the Pennyroyal Area Museum. The program starts at 6 p.m.
The inspiration for this Supper Club comes from a 1934 series in the Kentucky New Era headlined, “Our Foreign-Born Citizens.”
“The series featured 29 individuals representing 22 different cultures who had immigrated from other countries,” organizers said in a press release.
Alissa Keller, executive director of the Museums of Historic Hopkinsville-Christian County, will highlight the stories while Brown “prepares dishes inspired by these cultures.” Supper Club guests will be invited to taste the cuisine, and they will take home a recipe.
Tickets are $10 a person and should be purchased in advance through the museum’s Shopify store.
The Supper Club: Inspiring Cultural & Culinary Conversations is a collaboration of the museum and the Human Rights Commission of Hopkinsville-Christian County.
“The club is open to anyone who loves food, conversation, and learning about other cultures through commensality,” the release states.
Many of the Supper Club events sell out, so tickets need to be purchased in advance. Additional gatherings are planned on June 11, Aug. 13, Oct. 8 and Dec. 10.
