“Bringing people together is very important, this is what America is about,” Peter Sung, whose father owns the grocery store, said. “It’s a melting pot of a lot of different people coming together, celebrating life together and living life together.”

International food vendors and exhibitors showcased cuisine from around the world, including dishes from China, Jamaica, France, Morocco and more.
