Hate comes in all shapes, sizes, and smells. Sometimes it’s just a snide comment about the lunch your mom packed you for school. Still, it’s painful and can breed a kind of self loathing or shame. It can take decades for you to admit that you actually love that food and that you should take pride in it. 

So to commemorate AAPI Heritage month and to #stopAAPIhate in our own small way, Postmates is taking the homemade lunches that were made fun of and flipping them into a school lunch program created by some of LA’s best AAPI restaurants, inspired by real AAPI stories. The first lunch was with Greta Lee (A24’s Past Lives, Netflix’s Russian Doll) x Yangban, probably my favorite new restaurant in LA. The second lunch was with Bretman Rock x Big Boi, an amazing Filipino combo. We also made a donation to StopAAPIHate.org.
