- George Stern is a deafblind #FloridaMan residing in West Texas who has written for Serious Eats about how cooking websites currently fail people with disabilities.
- As someone more generally embedded in the disabled, Black, and immigrant experiences in the US, his particular interest is in the civic power of food, particularly the power of food and foodways to develop politically, financially, and environmentally strong communities.
- George’s desert island food is tacos; the onion-ier, cilantro-ier, and saucier the better.
Experience

He recently graduated from the University of Texas Tech with a BA in French, and is also enthusiastic about cooking and food; his particular interest is in the civic power of food, particularly the power of food and foodways to develop politically, financially, and environmentally strong communities.
George has served as President of the Texas Tech Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Club, Vice President of Deafblind Citizens in Action, board member for the Collaboration and Assistive Technology for Students with Sensory Impairments program through TTU’s Sowell Center, and is a founding member of the 501(C)3 organization DeafBlind Citizens in Action.
