Essex Asian Table (EAT)

You Don’t Have to Be Asian

Essex Asian Table (EAT) is a lively, irreverent Facebook discussion group focused on Asian / Asian American food and culture.  We also organize super chill gatherings designed to relax the mind, soothe the soul, and delight the palate.


All with the curiosity to listen, share, inquire or just be present are welcome.

How It Works

01 Online

The EAT Facebook group:


  • shares recipes and restaurant recommendations;

  • asks questions about ingredients and cuisines;

  • exchanges candid thoughts on food and authenticity.

02 In Person

EAT gatherings are, in a word, legendary. Past events include:


  • A Midsummer Night’s Curry & Beer;
  • The Yin and the Yang of Mooncakes;
  • Dosa Party!


Meet people unlike your usual people, over food unlike your usual food — in your own community.

03 For Everyone

All events include:


  • ticket discounts for helping out or bringing supplies;


  • 10% of tickets donated to those in need;


  • a quiet space, apart from the main action;

  • the option to mingle (or not) … your presence will always be enough.
