Vegan Soul Food First Friday

VEGAN FIRST FRIDAYS IN THE CROSSROADS!

We've spent the past couple months really thinking through our First Friday Tastings. Our goal is to connect to the foods we grew up eating in a different, healthier way. Vegan Soul Food! We will choose those comfort foods and elevate the flavors by incorporating some African and Caribbean flavors. It's also important that we continue to infuse our food with medicinal herbs. We're coming back better than ever. See you soon!

Enjoy a Prix Fixe Meal with signature Herban Tea Bar drink. Each meal is infused with herbs in order to promote overall wellness.

Menu:

Appetizer :

Tomato & Cucumber Salad with Pomegranate Balsamic Vinegar

Dinner :

Sukuma w/Cheddar Calabrian cornbread and fried Oyster Mushrooms.

Collard greens are known as sukuma in Swahilli and are one of the most common vegetables in East Africa. Sukuma is mainly lightly sauteed in oil until tender, flavoured with onions and seasoned with salt. We have fused this traditional African dish with our Black culture to create the first Dolma style collards, which are stuffed with red beans and rice.

It is paired with Cheddar Calabrian cornbread and fried oyster mushrooms.

Dessert :

Devil's Food Cake with cream cheese ice cream

Drink :

Open to drink of your choice from the bar (INCLUDED IN TICKET PRICE)
