Florindian by Anand
Picnic on 3rd, San Francisco

The shores and swamps of Florida are an ancient, primal and quiet place, full of hidden stories and treasures. Native tribes fleeing relocation, slaves finding freedom, Conquistadores looking for the Fountain of Youth, White settlers looking for cheap land to start anew and so many others looking for safety, comfort and ease have found their way to this land where water and time seem to flow without movement.
Florindian is the telling of this land through the lens of food. A Floridian of Indian heritage, Anand will present his original dishes influenced by traditional Floridian Southern cuisine, Latin-Caribbean cuisine and Indian cuisine in a five course menu with drink pairings. Each dish will uncover a story about the people and cultures that took refuge in the deep and primal lands and swamps of Florida.
