Chef JJ Johnson has handpicked the best Black chefs in New York, and they are ready to take you on a culinary journey like no other. Similar to hip hop, Black cuisine is a storytelling art form, where chefs are the artists, reconstructing and fuse flavors while honoring culturally relevant ingredients and techniques. Prepare to be dazzled as they showcase their signature dishes, each one a masterpiece in its own right.
A Record-Breaking Culinary Feat
And if you thought it couldn’t get any more exciting, think again. Chef Johnson is on a mission to set the world’s record for the largest amount of jollof—a delectable West African rice dish—cooked at one time. Witness history in the making as this culinary maestro takes on the challenge.
The Music That We Love
As the sun sets over the pier, get ready to dance the night away to the electrifying beats of DJ CASSIDY and the iconic ’90s sensations, Rev Run and Ice-T, both Grammy award-winners. Hosting this unforgettable evening are none other than Tamron Hall, Emmy award-winning host of the Tamron Hall Show, and Angela Yee from Way Up with Angela Yee on iHeart Radio’s Power 105.1. With this star-studded lineup, you’re guaranteed a night of entertainment like no other.
