Jenny Dorsey is a professional chef, author and artist specializing in interdisciplinary storytelling fusing food with social good. Her food is deeply symbolic, reaching beyond the realm of beautiful plating to actively explore topics like emotional vulnerability, the "othering" of immigrants, income inequality, cognitive dissonance and familial estrangement. As the founder of nonprofit culinary production studio Studio ATAO, she often uses mediums such as virtual reality, poetry, spoken word and interactive installation to deepen the guest experience both physically and virtually. Jenny's work and food has been featured on outlets such as Harper's Bazaar, NowTHIS, Eater, Food & Wine, Oxygen TV and Food Network. Her full biography and portfolio can be found at jennydorsey.co.
