Come Sit at the Table: Soul Food Classics LIVE with Chef Meka
We continue honoring Black History Month at the table. I’ll be making Salmon Croquettes with Fried Potatoes — a dish deeply rooted in our history, cooked with care, technique, and intention.
This isn’t about reinventing soul food.
It’s about respecting it, understanding it, and preparing it beautifully.
📍 LIVE tomorrow | 7pm CT
