We are heading to JBF Platform! An Evening Celebrating Black Culinary Heritage with Two James Beard Award–Recognized Chefs
Join James Beard Award–recognized Chefs Omar Tate and Cybille St.Aude-Tate, the husband-and-wife team behind Philadelphia’s Honeysuckle, for an evening rooted in Black culinary heritage, storytelling, and the power of food as a means for cultural preservation. Save on the trip to/from Philly! 🚊✈️

Chef Tate—an artist, writer, poet, and chef featured as Esquire’s Chef of the Year, on TIME’s 100 Next list, and on Netflix’s High on the Hog—and chef St.Aude-Tate—honored as a Rising Star by The Philadelphia Business Journal and Hospitality Star of the Year by The Philadelphia Citizen—unite their distinct culinary perspectives in the kitchen.

Drawing from Tate’s Southern and Philadelphia roots and St.Aude-Tate’s Haitian heritage, the menu will highlight fermentation, ancestral techniques, and ingredients sourced from Black farmers, regional producers, and the team’s own farm in Pipersville, Pennsylvania. Together, the chefs offer a table rich with history, flavor, and intention—making this gathering a powerful and meaningful way to mark Black History Month.
