Early American Black Cooks and Black Caterers

Afro-Atlantic to Defiant represents the cuisines and culture of food that were floating between British mainland North America, African American,. Afro-Caribbean, Afro-Latinx. Back then you would have had taverns, hotels, with a site of some of the earliest quote unquote restaurants but not the restaurant like we know it in contemporary America. So they came with all of that on top of this incredible heritage from West Africa that filtered and trickled down in certain ways. And there was this incredible, unceasing exploration of the food that most people were quite happy to source out to their servants.
