Macy’s Celebrates Asian Culture and Flavors with Chef Kristen Kish for Asian Pacific American Heritage Month

Macy’s welcomes chef, author, and television personality, Kristen
Kish at six stores nationwide for discussions and tastings surrounding
Asian culture and cuisine

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–This May, Macy’s celebrates Asian Pacific American Heritage Month with
renowned chef, Kristen Kish. Kish, the winner of Bravo’s “Top Chef”
Season 10, will host in-store events at six Macy’s stores across the
country, highlighting the Asian food experience with special tastings
and more. Kish will also discuss the importance of her heritage and its
specific influence on her culinary style.


“Cuisine is a vital element of Asian-Pacific culture and heritage and we
are honored to welcome Kristen Kish, a celebrated culinary master chef,
as she helps Macy’s celebrate Asian Pacific Heritage Month in stores
nationwide this May,” said Dineen Garcia, Macy’s vice president of
Diversity & Inclusion Strategies.

Kish is the winner of Bravo’s Top Chef Season 10, becoming the second
female chef to win the competition. Following her successes, Kish
assumed the role of Chef de Cuisine for Barbara Lynch’s Menton in
Boston. Most recently, Kish was co-host of “36 Hours,” a Travel Channel
production that partnered with The New York Times to bring the popular
newspaper column of the same title to television. Kish will release her
first book, “Kristen Kish Cooking” this fall.

“I am thrilled to partner with Macy’s for Asian Pacific American
Heritage Month to honor so many cultures and styles of food and the many
wonderful people and stories that inspire me on a daily basis,” said
Kish. “Food helps people tell a story and allows them to proudly embrace
who they are and where they come from – and Macy’s helps explore and
celebrate that.”

Following the discussion, Macy’s will host a Korean market reception
that includes local Asian cuisine sampling, skin care tips, Korean art,
music and social media tutorials. In addition, with any housewares or
cookware purchase of $50 or more, guests will receive a limited-edition
Macy’s Asian Pacific American Heritage Month tote bag and cutting board,
