The Sweet Home Café at the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington D.C. launched its Black History Month annual events with a book signing and Chef’s Table featuring Chef Chris Scott. At his Chef’s Table, he prepared signature dishes such as crispy cornmeal catfish, Grandpop’s meatloaf sandwich, brown sugar buttermilk biscuits, and silky chocolate mousse with a cocoa crunch. Guests were excited to meet and greet him as he signed copies of his cookbook, ‘Homage: Recipes and Stories from an Amish Soul Food Kitchen.’ Known for “Top Chef” and “Beat Bobby Flay,” Chris Scott is an R/A alum with successful restaurants like Brooklyn Commune and ButterFunk Biscuit in Harlem. We are deeply appreciative of Chef Chris for his remarkable hospitality and grateful to the entire team for their support with this event.
