Join pop culture afficionados and food enthusiasts, Karen Tongson, Guy Branum and chef Diep Tran, as they explore the question of "taste" as it brings together queerness, pop culture and food. They'll also discuss how they used libraries to explore their passions and fandoms, while cultivating their tastes as queer-identified people (both pre and post internet).
