The month-long series will showcase a variety of black-owned companies and purveyors and celebrate their craft, paired with Chef Nina’s culinary delights. Guests can enjoy these special dinners every Thursday throughout the month with prices starting at $50 per person (excluding tax and gratuity), with reservations available between 5:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. The series will debut with a dinner paired with offerings from Kahawa Coffee, a company started by Margaret Nyamumbo who grew up in a community of coffee farmers and created the brand to support and give back to other women. Kawaha Coffee sources directly from female coffee farmers in Kenya and Rwanda to further empower and benefit them for their work. Additional February collaborations include the activism-driven sugarcane producers, Provost Farm (Feb 10), and premium whiskey brand, Uncle Nearest (Feb 17). Dishes on the menu this evening include coffee-rubbed hamachi, coffee roasted carrots as well as coffee and cane syrup glazed pork belly with buttermilk dumplings. Expect to see Provost Farms’ sugar cane-focused menu feature spicy sugar cane roasted shrimp, molasses and sour orange roasted pork belly, and cane sugar cookies. While Uncle Nearest whiskey will be incorporated into a whiskey aged salmon, BBQ pork ribs, and whiskey soda bread. – Source: My New Orleans.
