Hosted by Venezuelan artist Carlos Salazar Lermont, this dinner centered on food, community, and solidarity in support of those affected by two devastating earthquakes in Venezuela. Striking only thirty seconds apart on June 24, the earthquakes caused widespread destruction, displacing thousands of people and leaving many without reliable access to food, water, shelter, and medical care.&nbsp; We are partnering with the Illinois Venezuelan Alliance to aid those who need it the most. IVA&rsquo;s mission is &ldquo;to serve, provide humanitarian aid, educate, foster civic engagement, and advocate for the Venezuelan community residing in the state of Illinois, working together to strengthen a positive and resilient community presence.&rdquo; All proceeds from this dinner will support victims of the double earthquake through the Illinois Venezuelan Alliance. The evening&rsquo;s menu featured the Reina Pepiada, a beloved arepa filled with chicken and avocado salad whose Indigenous roots and immigrant influences reflect Venezuela&rsquo;s rich cultural history, followed by traditional dulce de lechoza and majarete for dessert. Through these dishes, Venezuelan culinary heritage became an expression of care, resilience, and collective action.
