The series runs from Sept. 14 - Oct. 11 and will feature cultural programming, community partnerships and various chef collaborations to highlight the diversity of Latin American culture through food. Liberman, a Bay Area native, created this series to celebrate his heritage as a Colombian-American, and to showcase the flavors, traditions and culinary innovations of Latin-American chefs. Latin American Heritage Month in the United States runs from mid-September to mid-October, coinciding with Mexican Independence (Sept. 16)

Oakland and San Francisco are connected by a small body of water and a bridge. But that's about all the two Bay Area cities have in common, and longtime residents will tell you Oakland pride runs deep. And on top of giving the world Zendaya and the word hyphy, Oakland is also an incredible place to eat. The largest city in the East Bay is also one of the most diverse in the country-and that's reflected in the diversity of its restaurants.
