One of the chefs who remixes a vintage menu from the Library’s collection in our forthcoming book is Cynthia Hawkins, owner and chef at Hawkins of House of Burgers in Watts. In our related exhibition, opening June 13 at the Central Library, she will also be featured in a short film (directed by Michael Bodie) about her family’s history in Watts, how burgers helped heal her neighborhood after the ‘92 uprisings, how the 105 freeway shut down a local farm, and the role of food in sustaining community when all else seems to fail. As a taste, here are a few snaps from this morning’s shoot.
