Past

The Family Table

The NHOHP collaborated with the International Festival of Arts and Ideas in New Haven to produce a panel about family-run restaurants in New Haven. The program featured Francis Rosselli of Pepe’s Pizza and grandson of Frank Pepe himself, and Ken Lassen of Louis’ Lunch, birthplace of the hamburger. NHOHP Director Andy Horowitz served as moderator as these representatives of New Haven’s legendary food families told delicious tales of celebrity, tradition, endurance, and surviving the test of time. Read more about the program here.
