"It’s a Tuesday night in August and Emma’s Torch is buzzing. Middle Eastern pop music jangles softly through the speakers. Couples dressed for the heat sip glasses of rosé and swirl torn bits of warm Toufayan pita through creamy hummus made from black-eyed peas. The last of the day’s light glows tangerine behind a large sheet glass window etched with big block letters: 'EMPOWERING REFUGEES THROUGH CULINARY EDUCATION.' That’s what this tiny Brooklyn eatery does, and what we, by dining here, are helping to do too." - ByHilary Cadigan
