Recently I had the chance to sit with with activists, community leaders, and those featured in Netflix’s documentary #Descendant. As always and forevermore, I was there to explore how food impacts community, plus justice and cultural legacies in a new web series, The #DescendantCookout that my company (@whetstonemagazine) had a chance to produce with our friends @Participant. New episodes premiere 11/28. #Descendant is mandatory viewing about the enduring and evolving violence of US slavery. We get into the history, tragedy and future possibilities over a meal made with Ms. Vernetta (@_veda_rose’s mama!). This story was brought to life by so many, but here are a few: @netflix @participant @highergroundmedia Director director @margaret_luce_brown and the legend @Questlove, who is genetically and ancestrally connected to this story, and helped bring it forth via @twoonefive.
Introducing HONE!!! A brand new culinary talent agency from @whetstonemedia supporting the most talented innovators in the food, beverage and farming sectors. Please join me in welcoming @aliciadkennedy @farmerjawn @reem.assil @femingtonsteele as the first to begin this exciting voyage!! Why is Whetstone getting into talent representation? Like many of the brightest business ideas, this came from a personal pain point. When we launched in 2017, food media was dramatically different. The industry badly lacked diversity, and coverage on food had been reduced to “really cheap” or “really expensive.” Along the way Whetstone Media raised over a million dollars, launched a podcast network (with over 100 scripted episodes!), created a second print magazine, RASA, in addition to printing the 11th volume of our flagship magazine. And then there was hosting a hit Netflix series, which taught me that some things are impossible to prepare for until you’ve seen them before. For every blessing there’s been a dozen hard-learned lessons. HONE was created for those who need help when luck catches up. It seemed to me culinary arts and its adjacent industries were missing an intermediary afforded to talent in other sectors like sports, speaking, art and entertainment. We are undoubtedly in the age of talent, which raises the stakes for representation. These days, talent, content, PR, brand and media have been flattened into the same thing and keep changing. What is needed more than ever is fluency across these mediums. That’s why we created HONE. Publishing, production, platform, talent. Now @whetstonemedia | @honetalent can do it all. A brand or star? Whatever your offer, we’ll help you make it sharper! ✨🔪✨ HONE is now open for business and accepting talent submissions and business inquiries. To learn more about HONE and its services, visit www.hone-talent.com. HONE is made possible by the Head of Talent @shanikahillocks and the close consultation of @ambb_mayy. **Stay tuned. More announcements coming soon **

Finally made it to the much lauded Kann and many rounds of applause are in order…or more like a standing ovation for Haitian culinary invocation in a resplendent space oozing with vision and aura…the same of which, ofc, can be said for the soft-spoken chef with the narrative clarity of clairin and precision of veteran chef who worked on the line alongside jean georges in the nineties. Range roving, but Haiti on center stage. Smoked meat over white wood, greens with peanuts and coconut cream, djon djon with the Lima beans…King! So hard for accolades to keep pace with actuality. But here we are. Alotta yall probably probably don’t know that I used to live in Portland back in the day and probably would’ve stayed many more if Gregory Gourdet had been there back then. It was the punctuation to a beautiful visit with friends made possible by Laura Gordon, Jesse Lyon and the team from @dwtlaw —shoutout to the gang for bringing me out. I had a blast. Oh, and stay tuned to the Stephen Satterfield podcast where my interview with chef Gregory will be up in a few weeks. Appreciate the hospitality Chef! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
