Margaret Kuo’s Kitchen hosts the Delaware County Press Club’s Lunar New Year Luncheon and Black History Month celebration with special guests Paul A.

The lunch program takes place on Wednesday, February 15, 2023, at noon at Kuo’s newest restaurant located at the Promenade at Granite Run, 1109 W. Baltimore Pike, Ste. A, Media.
Paul Bennett will share his insights into the importance and impact of community journalism.

In 2022, Spirit Media Group received the Delaware County Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Award. Also founder of the Association of Black Journalists, Bennett will review his more than 50 years as a journalist.
Richard Blye and his Juneteenth Artistic Collaborative Experience committee played an important role in bringing recognition of Juneteenth to Delaware County.

Adding to the program, guests will experience the culinary culture of China as they enjoy a Lunar New Year Celebration lunch featuring a delicious selection of Chinese specialties created by Delaware Valley businesswoman and entrepreneur, Margaret Kuo, a James Beard Foundation Featured Chef, and her team at Margaret Kuo’s Kitchen.
