⁠
@rootedrotisserie intentionally opened ten minutes from where the owner grew up and we are so grateful for it. ⁠
⁠
The concept was inspired by a trip to Paris, where it felt like everyone had access to good food and a beautiful environment. So they built that at home. They’re known for the chicken, but you honestly can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Because we deserve nice things, right in our own neighborhoods.⁠

@CajouCreamery is plant-based ice cream that’s really for US. Dwight cofounded it after his first son was born allergic to dairy and soy, and built something for his family and for all of us.⁠
⁠
Black folks are going vegan faster than anyone, and veganism has deep roots in the community. At Cajou that shows up in flavors like Jamaican rum raisin and sweet potato pie so we don’t have to miss a thing. And it’s so good!⁠

@AtMamaKokos is your next favorite stop in Baltimore. Cafe by day, bar and social club by night, and the lines outside tell you everything. But Mama Koko herself is the soul of it, an educator for 47 years whose students still find their way back to her.⁠

Baltimore is Black luxury. I know that might surprise you. But I promise, once you actually dig in, this city has so much to offer. ⁠
⁠
A city that’s 60% Black, where the pride is loud. Where the matcha is as good as I’ve had anywhere. A city with food, third spaces, and concepts built for us, by us. ⁠
⁠
We dive into all of that in our first episode of @OurBlockShow, out today 🖤⁠
