Heart Of Glass
Do you remember those collectible glasses from McDonald’s? You may find them on eBay or at a local thrift store. It would be great to bring the glasses back…without the lead and cadmium.
No Meat Required
Alicia Kennedy's book, No Meat Required: The Cultural History and Culinary Future of Plant-Based Eating is out today and I added it to my Bookshop list below. I highly recommend subscribing to
newsletter.Twenty Historic Black Restaurants
This is not an exhaustive list, so there are at least a dozen more restaurants that can be added. However, this is a good list of twenty historic Black-owned restaurants in the United States. I have only been to four of the restaurants so I have some eating to do.
Next Generation
Chef Sebastian White is the founder of The Evolved Network in Chicago. His nonprofit aims to raise the next generation of Black and Latino chefs and culinary professionals. Based in Baltimore and Miami, Black Girls Cook is another food focused nonprofit. Nichole Mooney’s aim is to help Black girls establish healthy relationships with food and reduce their chances of developing health issues as adults.
New Job
On July 14th, I was told that the restaurant where I worked was closing on July 16th. Management gave staff only 48 hours notice that they were out of a job. After working there for over four years, I was shocked and scared, but I am resilient. I started at a new restaurant two weeks ago, and I love it. The restaurant business is a precarious one, but I love food. Food is life.
