About Immigrant Food at The White House

A restaurant on Pennsylvania Avenue serving globally inspired dishes that blend cuisines across borders, with a menu that draws on immigrant recipes and spices \u2014 examples from its recipe collection include Filipino spaghetti, harissa chickpea stew, and Turkish-spiced salmon with pesto butter. Beyond dining in, the location handles catering and private events, from weddings to fundraisers and graduation ceremonies, and offers pickup, delivery, and gift cards. The company also sells its own sauces, spices, gift sets, and merchandise with nationwide shipping. Alongside the food, it runs an advocacy program it calls gastroadvocacy, including The Think Table, an engagement menu, and partnerships with immigrant-serving organizations.

The restaurant frames its concept around the idea that American food is immigrant food \u2014 that flavors, recipes, and entrepreneurial energy in the United States were carried here by immigrants. It positions itself as a platform combining food with purpose, celebrating immigrants' achievements and recipes at a time of national division over immigration. Two sibling locations operate at Planet Word in Washington and in Ballston, Arlington.
