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;
