Introducing GOURMEGA, an honoring of the rich, dynamic, diasporic flavors of Afro Asiatic Americana.
This is not about fusion. It is about movement across land, water, and sand. The meeting of cultures long in conversation.
Designed by architect @mariamissoufouk , the space is rooted in warmth, gathering, and reverence. Her vision draws on the power of communal exchange and the beauty of building a room that feels both grounded and transcendent.
We gather and cook on Lenape land while honoring the Black history rooted in what was once the Land of the Blacks, where African-owned farms and Black life were built through land, food, and commerce.
In partnership with @rethinkfood , every meal shared helps move resources back into the community.
Wednesday to Saturday

I vividly remember cutting church Bethel Gospel Assembly with my homie Emmanuel and walking passed Miss Angelou’s crib by Marcus Garvey Park. I’d was a honor to see her on the move from time to time.

Two kitchens, one night. Chef Alex Chang of Kiko joins Chef Lester Walker of Ghetto Gastro for a collaborative dinner introducing Jon Gray’s new restaurant, Gourmega. The menu explores the intersection of Chang’s global cooking and Walker’s Afro-Asiatic culinary vision, rooted in migration, memory, and shared food traditions.

Hoping to see some more black history at the Oscar’s tonight. We made some in 2022 when we locked in with @wolfgangpuck for the Governors Ball. Legend has it the cornbread was good enough to make you smack somebody.
Big up @shayla_pc@willpowerpacker@theacademy
