In this electrifying episode, Dave finally got the chance to sit down with the elusive and incredibly talented graffiti artist, Wes Hinds. Wes has been a significant figure in the local art scene, known for his vibrant and thought-provoking graffiti art. Our conversation kicked off with a deep dive into Wes's artistic journey, beginning with his early influences from his grandmother and mother, both of whom nurtured his creative spirit from a young age. Wes shared his experiences growing up in Memphis, Tennessee, where he first picked up a can of spray paint at the age of 13. His rebellious streak led him to discover graffiti, and he was inspired by iconic artists like Basquiat and Keith Haring. We reminisced about his school days, where his talent was both a source of trouble and admiration, and how his ninth-grade art teacher played a pivotal role in encouraging his artistic pursuits. We explored the evolution of graffiti art, discussing the advancements in tools and techniques over the years. Wes highlighted the significance of using spray paint and the various nozzles that allow for different effects, emphasizing how these innovations have transformed the art form. He also recounted his first large-scale pieces and the challenges and triumphs of working on such expansive canvases. A particularly touching part of our conversation was Wes's tribute to his grandparents, who played a crucial role in shaping his character and artistic style. He spoke about how their influence and support have been a constant source of inspiration throughout his life. Wes's journey has not been without its challenges, but his determination and passion for art have kept him moving forward. He expressed his aspirations to take his art to larger cities like Miami, New York, and Chicago, aiming to leave a mark on the global art scene while still maintaining strong ties to his roots in Memphis. Wes's unique style and vibrant colors have made a significant impact on the local community, and his work continues to inspire and captivate art enthusiasts. Check out his recent project, the stunning mural in the underpass at the east end of 30A! Explore Wes Hines's art at Maxine Orange Gallery in Fort Walton Beach, Beach Camp on 30A and Destin, and Kith + Kin on 30A. Check out his latest mural at Down Island in Santa Rosa Beach.

By the age of 27, Onwuachi had competed on Top Chef, been named a 30 Under 30 honoree by both Zagat and Forbes, and had opened five restaurants.

Onwuachi, the former Kith/Kin chef and "Top Chef" alum is kicking off his book tour in D.C. this week. "My America" follows the chef's 2019 memoir.
Kevin Tien, like many first-generation Americans, especially those with Asian backgrounds, was supposed to do something extremely professional, which is why he got a master’s degree from Louisiana State University in business intelligence and business analytics. But that took a while, and while he was doing it he was also working his way up the ranks of Tsunami, a Japanese restaurant with locations in the Louisiana communities of Lafayette, where he started his studies at the University of Louisiana before being displaced by Hurricane Katrina, and Baton Rouge where he finished. Upon graduation he got offers to do financial analysis as well as to start working at the Houston location of Uchi, Tyson Cole’s modern Japanese concept. He chose the latter. His career took him to Washington, D.C., and he eventually opened his own restaurant, Himitsu, where he was named to Food & Wine Magazine’s coveted list of the 10 “Best New Chefs” in 2018. In 2020, well into the pandemic, Tien opened Moon Rabbit at the InterContinental Washington D.C. hotel in the location formerly occupied by Kwame Onwuachi’s Kith/Kin. Tien recently discussed his journey, his cooking style and how Moon Rabbit reflects his Vietnamese heritage, his upbringing in Cajun country and his training in modern Japanese fine dining.

Award-winning Washington DC chef Kwame Onwuachi (formerly of Kith/Kin) and Salamander Hotels & Resorts Founder & CEO and BET co-founder Sheila Johnson discuss The Family Reunion (LINK) , black culture, and diversity in the hospitality industry. The Family Reunion was an immersive experience presented by Onwuachi in partnership with Food&Wine and Salamander Hotels & Resorts on August 19-22, 2021 where dozens of chefs, culinary and hospitality professionals and a few hundred attendees celebrated diversity in the hospitality community. “I've been a part of so many food festivals… and I was wondering why there wasn't anything that really just celebrated black contributions to the food industry. We need to have an event that celebrates black and brown contributions to the food industry on a black owned property with a historical context,” says Onwuachi. Johnson is pushing the hospitality industry on diversity and equity. “We're going to grow it, and we will continually shine light on the issues until we can get the problem solved, to really get minority-owned restaurants and hotels… we really want to level the playing field here. No more hiding in the shadows. No more being afraid to move forward,” she declares. Both are excited for the prospects of bringing so many diverse voices together. “You can imagine the things that are going to happen at this event. People are going to meet each other, they're going to decide to do things together, there's going to be collaborations... It's going to be fascinating to track what comes out of this,” Onwuachi concludes.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On this episode of Control Room, Ryan and I return to 2007/2008 to talk about the Lorwyn/Shadowmoor block. Featuring tons of tribal support for Faeries, Goblins, Kithkin, and other tribes, the block has been forgotten by a lot of players. Ryan explains how his own playing experience was shaped in part by these sets, and we explore the various mechanics of each set in the block and some of the cards we like. I use examples of a few cards I use from the sets in my Selenia, Dark Angel deck (which is mentioned in an earlier episode named "Selenia and Me". You can find me on Twitter at @MTGInQuarantine.

And, we revisit our conversation with chef and advocate Kwame Onwuachi.Award-winning Washington DC chef Kwame Onwuachi (formerly of Kith/Kin) talks to Billy Shore about the how the crisis of COVID-19 and its economic fallout is exposing the vulnerability of the restaurant industry and the fundamental changes that must occur for independent restaurants to survive. “I would hope we don’t just go back to the same normal, that we create a new normal that really makes sure that we’re taking care of our staff and our community as well as the bottom line,” says Onwauchi. “The power is in the dollar. Where you spend your money is where publications go, what they write about,” he explains. In his memoir Notes from a Young Black Chef and an article in the Washington Post, Onwuachi takes on issues of race and diversity in the culinary world. “I went through a struggle in trying to find a path to the cuisine of my heritage. Investors and owners have constantly pushed me to do what they think is right, instead of what was authentic to me,” he wrote in the Post. “I try to speak my mind and speak truthfully. There are a lot of people who share similar stories and when they hear someone being vocal about it, it lets them know that they’re not alone,” he says.Get inspired by one of the great, young chefs in America who is fighting to bring more diversity, inclusion and economic justice to the restaurant industry and his community.

Chef Kwame Onwuachi's restaurant Kith/Kin was one of the hottest reservations in the country. But COVID-19 has closed its doors and turned the James Beard Award-winning Chef into an activist. He joins Liz Bacelar, a journalist and mentor since the start, in a candid chat on how he has been fighting for local restaurants and their employees, on facing racism in the culinary world, and his hit memoir, “Notes From a Young Black Chef,” becoming a Hollywood film.
This week on Weekly Specials, we're inspired by the way grocery stores have partnered with chefs to create to-go meals, like Rouses Markets in Louisiana, H-E-B in Texas, and Spartan Nash in Michigan, raising a significant amount of money in support of their local restaurants. Dimo's Pizza in Chicago is using their ovens to cook up more than just a solid slice, and restaurant regulars support their favorite spots by installing road-side billboards advertising a local spot with the simple message, “We are open.” And in Hong Kong, Black Sheep Restaurant released a reopening playbook that's already been translated to 5 languages and passed around the world. Ben Leventhal spends some quality time with Chef José Andrés in the ultimate version of This Week in José. And our latest segment, #icantwait, continues with Chef Kwame Onwuachi and his team from Kith/Kin joining us on the show to share what they can't wait to get back to doing in their restaurant.

The restaurant industry almost broke Pastry Chef Paola Velez during the early days of her career, but her passion, drive, and sense of self worth have won out time and time again. Over the past two weeks, Paola, on furlough from her job at Kith/Kin in Washington, D.C., has channeled her energy and optimism into a project called Bakers Against Racism. This humble bake sale, founded by Paola, Pastry Chef Willa Pelini, and Chef Rob Rubba, was meant to give professional and home bakers a way to join the fight for Black lives, but it has exploded into a global phenomenon, with chapters around the world and sales underway on five continents, 17 countries, and more than 41 states. Tune in to hear about Paola’s life and career, and how both have turned her into a passionate activist who uses baked goods as a vehicle for protest. Stay tuned to hear why Auria Abraham, founder of Auria’s Malaysian Kitchen, thinks chef Airis Johnson is the Bombe.
It’s been 2 weeks since our last episode of re-opening soon and in that short time our country is marching towards a long awaited change. Stay at home orders to curb the COVID-19 pandemic are lifting across the country for better or worse. Time will yield the result of how the pandemic has truly affected restaurants. But even bigger than the pandemic, spurred by police brutality and the death of George Floyd, the US has been reckoning with a long history of systemic racism across all walks of life including the hospitality world. That can be seen in regards to financial access, growth opportunity and media coverage to start. Today we talk about what reopening means in this turbulent climate. Our guest today is Kwame Onwuachi, Executive Chef and Creator of Kith/Kin in Washington DC. which just reopened for service this past Friday. Kwame is a JBF Rising Star and F&W Best New Chef. Kwame is also an author of Notes from a Young Black Chef. Kwame is an active member of the Independent Restaurant Coalition which has been advocating for industry support during the COVID Crisis.HRN will be donating 10% of our membership drive proceeds from now until June 15 to the Philando Castile Relief Foundation.

Paola Velez was listening to the James Beard Award finalist announcements hoping for the chance to cheer on some friends and colleagues. She was gobsmacked to hear her own name called out in the Rising Star Pastry Chef category. No one else was surprised. The Kith/Kin dessert master is revered and adored not just for her culinary chops, but also for her thoughtful, forward-thinking, and generous leadership—every day, but especially in times of crisis. Velez spoke with Food & Wine Senior Editor Kat Kinsman about opening up the kitchen doors to more people of color, dealing with anxiety, and what it really means to serve your community.Learn more about Paola https://www.instagram.com/smallorchids/Upgrade your chocolate chip cookies https://www.foodandwine.com/cooking-techniques/chocolate-chip-cookie-recipe-upgrades The F&W Pro Guide to Coronavirus: What Restaurants Should Know https://www.foodandwine.com/news/coronavirus-restaurant-guide-fwpro The F&W Pro Newsletter https://www.foodandwine.com/newsletter-sign-up Buy some doughnuts at Doña Dona https://www.serenatadc.com/donadona

James Beard Award winning chef and author, Kwame Onwuachi, is no stranger to setbacks, having overcome a difficult adolescence and later opening his first restaurant at 24, only to have it shutter in less than a year. We close out our last episode of the year, with someone who has dominated 2019, running one of the top restaurants in D.C., Kith/Kin, publishing a memoir - Notes from a Young Black Chef - and landing a movie deal on his life story.

Today I'm interviewing Chef Martel Stone, the executive sous chef of Kith and Kin in Washington, DC. Chef Martel, a native of Philadelphia, started his life journey in the Navy. After serving the nation for five years, he left the service to travel and explore the world. His love of serious cooking began with a single French omelet challenge. Thirty dozen eggs later, he knew he had found what he wanted to do with his life and began his career by cooking in the kitchens in South Hampton Roads, Virginia. His vast culinary experience led to a key leadership role at Kith and Kin, a restaurant that Eater DC has named one of the top essential restaurants in the city.

This week's Special Sauce guest, chef-restaurateur (Kith/Kin in Washington, DC) and memoirist (Notes From a Young Black Chef) Kwame Onwuachi, has led an interesting life, to say the least. How interesting? By the time he was 21, the now-29-year-old had already started a catering business and cooked on a ship cleaning up oil spills in the Gulf of Mexico- all after discarding a previous life that included membership in a gang and selling "nutcrackers," or homemade alcoholic punch, on the streets in the Bronx. Early on, Onwuachi discovered the satisfaction he could derive from cooking for other people, by helping his mom with her catering business: "Yes, serving food to actual paying customers...there's a certain high about it. You know, like being in the weeds, you know, prepping, putting stuff together, and then reaching that finish-line moment when you're serving it to the guests, and all is well. They're happy...and you can see the genuine joy that they get when eating the food. I love that moment, and I got addicted to it." The entrepreneurial spirit he inherited from his mother had a way of colliding with some of his more destructive adolescent impulses. He would bounce back and forth between cooking gigs and less savory endeavors, including selling drugs, until he found himself at a crossroads around the time of Obama's first inauguration: "Obama is walking across the stage accepting his presidency. At that moment, for some reason, it clicked for me. Because...I went out and I voted for him, but I was like, 'There's no way we're gonna get a black president. There's no way this is gonna happen. No way.' And when he walked across the stage, I was like, 'What am I doing? This man defied the odds. Fifty-five years ago, we weren't even allowed to eat in restaurants; like, that was [when] the last restaurant was desegregated. Now this man is walking across the stage. That's huge. And I'm sitting here selling drugs?'" After that realization, Onwuachi ended up starting a catering company called Coterie, for which he raised the start-up capital by selling candy in the subway- yes, you read that right. His most popular item: peanut M&Ms (take that, plain-M&M advocates). All of this, of course, was before Onwuachi began his restaurant career-cooking at Per Se and Eleven Madison Park, moving on to a seriously upscale restaurant in DC (which closed within three months), and, this year, being named a Best New Chef by Food & Wine for his current restaurant, Kith/Kin. But his pre-fine dining life was so eventful, we had to save all that for the second part of our interview. Rest assured, there's plenty here to chew on and listen to. --- The full transcript for this episode can be found over here at Serious Eats: https://www.seriouseats.com/2019/04/special-sauce-kwame-onwuachi-part-1.html
Kwame Onwuachi is learning when to stop and take a deep breath. In the last few weeks alone, he's been named a Food & Wine Best New Chef and a James Beard Rising Star finalist, and published a stunning memoir called Notes from a Young Black Chef. In the midst of all the accolades, he's still at the helm of Kith/Kin, the much-celebrated restaurant that he opened in the wake of the very public and swift closure of his first solo outing. This might seem like a lot all at once, but Onwuachi has been training and hustling since he was a tiny child in his chef-mother's kitchen, and he's ready to step into the spotlight—he might just need a nap first.

Rick and Kate have two words for you: Kwame and Croatia. Join Kate and Rick as they take you on a tour of Top Chef Season 13 competitor Kwame Onwuachi’s new restaurant and a Croatian hot-spot restaurant, both of which are two of DC’s most exciting restaurants. Kith/Kin, Kwame’s stylish restaurant along Washington D.C.’s newly developed waterfront area The Wharf, offers food that celebrates his heritage ranging from Nigeria and Jamaica to West Africa and the Caribbean. Ambar, a Croatian restaurant in the Capitol Hill area, offers one of the best deals going while allowing you to sample and learn about Croatian specialties. And we know you have been dying to know exactly how many “insect fragments” the FDA allows in an average jar of peanut butter, and Rick and Kate have the answers in their Did You Know tidbit. Also, do you know these food phobias: Lachanophobia? Alliumphobia? You will after this episode.

In 1636, King Wladyslaw IV's quartermaster surveyed the houses of Wilno in advance of the king's visit to the city. In Kith, Kin and Neighbors: Communities and Confessions in Seventeenth-Century Wilno (Cornell University Press, 2013), David Frick begins with this house-by-house account to reveal the complex relationships among the city's multi-ethnic and multi-confessional inhabitants. He weaves in birth, marriage and death records, litigation filed by citizens against each other, as well as guild and poor relief roles, to demonstrate the “practices of toleration” that allowed Vilnans to cross confessional boundaries and to define separate identities. Frick reveals how Wilno's Poles, Lithuanians Germans, Ruthenians, Jews and Tartars – representing Catholic, Uniate, Orthodox, Calvinist, Lutheran, Jewish and Muslim confessions – were able to live together in a mostly peaceful coexistence. Kith, Kin and Neighbors received the 2013 Przegl Wschodni Award, the 2014 Joseph Rothschild Prize from the Association for the Study of Nationalities, and the 2014 Kulczycki Book Prize in Polish Studies from the Association for Slavic, East European and Eurasian Studies.
