Our project investigated immigrant-owned food enterprises in Thessaloniki, Greece to illuminate how they impact the city's gastronomic identity. Through interviews with business owners and employees, we identified the importance of these enterprises in the immigrant community, how native cuisines can provide comfort to immigrants, and how food facilitates the formation of relationships. We uncovered and mapped a network of connections between businesses that can be extended to investigate the ever-growing immigrant community in Thessaloniki.
