Hosted at the Dayton Metro Library Opportunity Space, three back-to-back Tuesdays in October will run the new food event series highlighting the talents, cuisines and stories of foreign-born chefs. Funds raised will support Welcome Dayton to help ensure the organization can "continue to provide vital and effective services to the area's immigrants and refugees."
