I met Chef Raheem Sealey a little over a year ago in his capacity as head chef at one of Miami’s swankiest, high end restaurants. We had an amazing conversation about his incredible ability to transform flavors while interpreting culture though the palate. Classically trained, Chef Raheem fuses both skill and ancestral cooking to create…
Majestic Ash Lounge and Southern Spice Restaurant recently opened in West Palm Beach’s Northwood Village neighborhood and with a name as long as a Baptist Church in Tuscaloosa, AL, the food HAS to be good. It’s the brainchild of three veteran food entrepreneurs, Mr. Jerome Byrd, the sole Black owner of a Zaxby’s in Palm…

They’re good, but my loyalty remains with the Black owned DAT DOUGHNUTS in…

Our 4th Annual National Black Business Month Foodie Tour took us to several cities, including my favorite, Charlotte, NC. Florida’s ridiculous size and shape make taking a quick road trip to other states challenging, but when you finally get out of the state, driving becomes a bit more exciting and eventful.
