After a winter storm dumped ice and snow on the Tri-State region this week, many would-be customers weren't able to get their Asian Food Week fix. Because of this, the event will be extended to Feb. 13, according to a press release from Asianati.
Asian Food Week is quickly approaching in Cincinnati and this year, more than 40 restaurants from across southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky will be participating.

CINCINNATI â May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, so the Asian American Cultural Association of Cincinnati (AACAC) is kicking off the month with Asian Food Week.
After a rise in anti-Asian hate crimes over the past year, the local Asian American community decided to host events all month long with the hope of educating those from other communities.
The first of those events is Asian Food Week where 50 restaurants, stretching from Northern Kentucky to Oxford, Ohio, are offering deals, specials and secret menu items to customers. We want to use food as a catalyst because food does connect a lot of the cultures together, Koji Sado with the AACAC, said. We want to normalize the perceptions and the cultural biases that exist.â
