🤲🏾 This moment isn’t just about me; it’s about the cultural freedom for immigrant and marginalized communities to have the space to exist without dilution, apology, or translation. @chopnblok_ is building something accessible, where our people feel seen and everyone feels invited.
We’re shifting perspective and building a more honest table. I love this for “us” all.
Thank you @beardfoundation for clocking it. 🙏🏾💯

🗣️MICHELIN STATUS!!!! The CULTURE caught a dub!!!
Last night, ChòpnBlọk became Michelin-Rated and took home a Bib Gourmand recognition for incredible food and genuine hospitality at great value.
Since the pop-ups back in 2018, we’ve always set out to put on for ours in a MAJOR WAY and this one means everything.
We hope you feel it because this “W” is for all of “us.” 🌍🤎

CHÒPNBLỌK is more than a restaurant—it’s a hub for West African culture in Houston.
Through storytelling, community events, and intentional partnerships, it strengthens our city’s cultural landscape and showcases the power of small businesses to connect and inspire.
When culture meets cuisine 🍛
Chef Ope Amosu (@o.amosu ) founder of @chopnblok_ , just landed on The New York Times’ 50 Best Restaurants in America — and he’s not slowing down.
From Montrose to The Post Downtown, Ope’s turning food into storytelling and bringing Houston’s rhythm to every plate.
And now? He’s linking up with @bunb for a culinary collab you don’t want to miss 👀
