I promised you a sneak peek.
Thanks for being a part of my mailing list! First off, you might have heard that I'm opening a restaurant. Yes, my very FIRST restaurant in Atlanta.
I'm proud of this because no other food blogger has attempted to do this. I'm nervous at the same time. I hope to bring to you an establishment that embodies meaning, character, and integrity.
People ask - why the name Greens & Gravy. Well, it's easy. If I had to think of two things that sustained a bloodline throughout generations, it'd be greens and gravy. Greens and gravy were, and in many cases still are, the epicenter of the African American experience in America. We are a people that were raised from the crops of slavery and given scraps to eat. Somehow, at the intersection of creativity and imagination, we made it work. And, it became a delicacy. I'd like to celebrate that strength and tenacity on a plate, as an experience, and as a meal. I hope that makes sense.
I think the menu is SUPER DOPE. I'll share a link so that you can preview it.
Lastly, folks are asking when will we open. Right now, I don't have a date in mind. I'm still traveling with my dinner party series, we're still in renovations, we still have to hire a staff and train them, and we still need licensing and permits. It's a LONG process. But, through the photos below, you'll have a chance to see how we've made improvements.
