SEA Junction in collaboration with Jorge Carrillo-Rodriguez (http://www.facebook.com/beyondfood.bkk), a former officer with the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific based in Bangkok launched a new series on street food and its many dimensions in Southeast Asia entitled “Beyond Food”. The panel discussion is focused on the food itself: how street vendors represent the varieties of Thai food, it gives “character” to the city, and it should be preserved particularly in touristic areas, etc.
