Jordan Porter

A small town Canadian, Jordan moved to Chengdu in 2010 as an alternative to undertaking his masters degree in Chinese history, and opting for a more practical education. In 2015 he founded CDFT which in his words is “my love song to my adopted home.” Never one to be satisfied with the status quo, he went everywhere he could in Sichuan and ate everything he found, and developed a deep passion for the region and its food. Jordan runs CDFT and writes content, but still loves leading groups to his favorite spots.

Favorite things (other than eating): Rock n roll, road trips and sweet jokes. Preferably all at the same time.

Anita Lai

Anita was born and raised in Chengdu. The daughter of a hot pot mogul, the mala flavors of the city run deep in her veins. She did her bachelors degree in New York State, spending a semester in Budapest, and then completed her masters in St. Andrews Scotland. She returned to Chengdu with a great passion and energy for her hometown, and a desire to share that with the outside world. Anita helps design experiences, manages events and partnerships, and keeps us all on track. She also loves showing people the city where she grew up.

Favorite things (other than hot pot): Does chuan chuan count?
