LATE NIGHT: "Wild Danger" - Chinese x Puerto Rican Mashup
Chef Tim Ma of Chefs Stopping AAPI Hate & Lucky Danger links up with Jamilka Borges of Wild Child in PGH for WILD DANGER.
Puerto Rican Chinese cuisine is an extremely popular style of food in Puerto Rico that is exclusive to the island and has been developed by Chinese immigrants over the years. They take traditional and Americanized Chinese recipes and adapt them using produce and ingredients indigenous to the island. Chef Tim Ma and Jamilka Borges became friends taking part in a charitable cause dinner in Pittsburgh organized by Jamilka in 2019. A few short weeks later Tim and Jamilka participated together in our our event in Cambridge, MA in Summer 2020 and became fast friends. We linked them up again when Tim hosted us in DC in our only event in 2020 before COVID shut the world down. Tim and Jamilka are in the process of opening two new concepts of their own, Lucky Danger in DC (with 2 locations) and Wild Child in Pittsburgh. We wanted to take those two concepts and adapt them based on the history of Chinese cuisine in Puerto Rico and there you have it "WILD DANGER."
