Dine-In Theater featuring Go Grandriders, Bao-logy, and Hardena

Online/Virtual

You are cordially invited to PAAFF Dine-In Theater, our newest virtual fundraiser. Join us for dinner and a movie, PAAFF style! We’ve paired the ultimate all ages, feel-good documentary with your choice of Dinner for 2 from two of Philadelphia’s acclaimed Asian-owned restaurants. Choose a curated meal from either bāo•logy or Hardena/Waroeng Surabaya. Bao-logy showcases Taiwanese food, highlighting fresh, high quality ingredients. Bao-logy chef/owners Judy Ni and Andy Tessier were recently awarded the 2019 Starchefs award for sustainability. 2018 Beard Award semifinalist Hardena offers homestyle Indonesian dishes. As you enjoy the flavors and textures of authentic Asian cuisine, view the film that broke box office records in both Taiwan and Hong Kong. Hua Tien-hau’s Go Grandriders 不老騎士-歐兜邁環台日記 (2013) follows 17 “Grandriders” - whose average age is 81 - on a 1178 km motorcycle ride around Taiwan.
