Ven a Comer is one of Peggy’s and my favorite traditions each fall. This special evening celebrates the work of UT San Antonio Libraries & Museums and the remarkable Mexican Cookbook Collection, while bringing our community together through food and culture.
This year, we were honored to join chef Pati Jinich and so many dedicated supporters who helped make this event possible. Our Libraries & Museums are the cultural front door to UT San Antonio, preserving the history and voices that make our region unique.
I’m grateful to everyone who supports this mission and ensures these traditions endure generations to come.
