Black Culinary History is a collaborative endeavor focused on being a living sanctuary for the collective history of Black chefs in America. This work grows and breathes because of your stories that move me, your passionate work that inspires me, and your limitless support that feeds me. I love hearing from site visitors, so if there’s anything you want to say—a simple hello, asking about a chef you think is amazing, or sharing an idea that would make the site more interesting—please feel free to give me a shout. I hope you love Black Culinary History as much as I do and reach out.
