HEART OF DINNER FOUNDERS
Salon D
Heart of Dinner was founded by partners in life and love, Yin Chang and Moonlynn Tsai. Originally a supper club formed in 2015 bringing people together around a shared meal and sense of community, the duo quickly evolved their idea as the pandemic hit. Their late-night conversations about the global impact of COVID-19 and the heightened racism towards Asian Americans soon became visions of change and healing through deeply personal approaches, drawing from their own romantic and familial exchanges. The two have taken different paths in their respective lives and careers spanning across entertainment, storytelling, entrepreneurship, and hospitality to reach the same goal: joyfully centering and uplifting people and communities. Their journeys converged in March 2020 when they combined their experiences, resources, and shared love for language and food to initiate Heart of Dinner’s relief efforts.
