Guides are important when experiencing something new. These days, when I’m trying out an unfamiliar cuisine, I find my thumb twitching for my phone and a few quick answers from the internet. Hopefully, our Tastemakers will help guide your foray into Nikkei and Chifa cuisine and keep your phone off the dinner table. In our education, family and senior living issue, you’ll see that learning doesn’t come with an age cap. From local high school seniors looking to their futures in our annual Senior Spotlight to a nonprofit helping senior citizens bridge the technology gap, I don’t think it’s ever too late to learn and experience something new. As Albert Einstein is quoted as saying, “The pursuit of knowledge is more valuable than its possession.”
