OUR RESTAURANT
Ethnic Fusion Cuisine
VEN A Communal Eatery is a restaurant, catering and concessions company based in Ridgecrest, California serving ethnic fusion cuisine. VEN opened for business on July 11, 2020, and specializes in community-driven Ethnic Fusion Cuisine.
​
Ethnic Fusion Cuisine is a style of cooking that blends elements from different cultural or ethnic culinary traditions into a single dish or menu. This approach to cooking is about combining flavors, ingredients, techniques, and presentation styles from various cultures to create something new and innovative.
For example, a dish might merge traditional Italian pasta with Japanese miso or combine Mexican tacos with Indian curry flavors. The idea is to celebrate the diversity of global food traditions while pushing the boundaries of traditional cooking. Ethnic Fusion Cuisine is often seen in modern restaurants where chefs experiment to create unique dining experiences.
This style of cooking also reflects the increasingly globalized world where cultural exchange is common, and people are more open to trying new and diverse flavors. It can also be a way to honor different culinary heritages by bringing them together harmoniously.
Our Mission
”Without community, a restaurant is just what? .....Eating”
—David Hagedorn, Ugly Delicious
Our mission is to bring people together around food and drink. Food connects us to our present and our pasts and allows us to know better ourselves and our various cultural influences and those of others. We expand our experiences through food. Food opens our eyes to the world around us and, in turn, opens our lives to others. VEN is the Spanish word for “come,” and we invite everyone with a desire for something a little different to ”come and eat.”
