WELCOME How does food connect us?
Our menus speak to the relationship and the crossover of food culture based on the spice trade and the African diaspora — connected from Asia to the Americas. The similarities in the flavor profiles and cuisines is something in itself to be celebrated. To understand spices, you have to first know where they are from and what their stories are. The spice routes, also known as maritime silk roads, were trade routes that extended from Japan through the islands of Indonesia, around India and Sri Lanka, to the lands of Middle East, from there across the Mediterranean to Europe, and then up through the Americas. Besides the exchange of spices, silk, ivory, porcelain, the most important exchange was of knowledge. The knowledge of new cultures, people, religion and food came with a price. Thousands of people from Africa and Asia were enslaved and brought to these places and with them came their stories. We are exploring the story of spices, the roads by which the spice trade traveled, and how spices change our perception of food. In doing this we are seeking to celebrate and pay homage to the cultures represented.
