Don’t miss out on this year’s Jook Off, Cook Off on Saturday, May 17th | 11am - 2pm for an extra-special, family-friendly event (children 12 & under enter free!) filled with delicious food, music, great company, and full-day access to the Asian Art Museum.
Together, we’ll uplift our AAPI community — from the resilient survivors we stand with, to the talented artists, chefs, and culture makers who nourish and inspire us, and the vibrant, multi-faceted communities that make the Bay Area home.
You’ll get to taste, vote, and celebrate jook — the beloved rice porridge, known across Asia by many names, cherished for its warmth, versatility, and healing comfort. The event features an incredible lineup of local chefs bring their best jook-making skills to the table in a comfort food showdown.
