Living history: Atlanta’s culinary world.

This Black History Month, we celebrate rich cultural heritage and the birth of new culinary traditions. Join pioneering chef Deborah VanTrece and restauranteur Zak Wallace as they explore the communities that defined their culinary journeys. Walk streets steeped in history and visit places that continue to inspire future generations of Black chefs. Meet the trailblazers.


Deborah VanTrece
Chef VanTrece is the owner and chef of numerous award-winning restaurants in the Atlanta region, including Twisted Soul Cookhouse & Pours and a catering business that has drawn rave reviews since it first opened. Chef VanTrece began her culinary career in 1994 when she graduated as the valedictorian of her class at the Art Institute. Working as an Executive Chef for a catering company by 1996, Chef VanTrece enjoyed great success during the Centennial Olympics in Atlanta. She was hired to cook for several foreign dignitaries and international executives and won acclaim for her mastery of imported cooking techniques and delicious globally informed cuisine.

Zak Wallace
Zak Wallace was born in Southwest Atlanta, where he grew up in a food desert and experienced an environment beset with empty calories, high fats, and sky-high sodium levels. Wallace saw the effects of food insecurity firsthand and how poor eating habits negatively impacted the health and well-being of his community. In 2017, he sought to make a difference. Starting with a Local Green Atlanta food truck, Wallace raised awareness for tasty, fulfilling plant-based cuisine in his community. Now, his restaurant of the same name continues to spread that message throughout Vine City— serving not just health, but hope.

We gonna spend time at the crib, I'm bringing my work laptop to her place and gonna play house for a little. I'm not doing the excessive wait time to eat at a restaurant this year. Been through this shyt too many times with my ex. shyt just ends in a argument

Try Ecco midtown. Also, Hit OpenTable and take a look (not sure what date you’re looking at this wknd between Fri-Mon). There are still spots available but I’d say you gotta find something no later than today. Just gotta look a lil harder, expand your list and the areas you’re lookin at even if you gotta go OTP. Look at The Atlantan (Jezebel Magazine), Atlanta Magazine for inspiration/top restaurants. Another scenario is you could have a private chef do something at your spot.

@The ADD you right, I forgot about it but I just booked a reservation on Friday night. Quiet as kept everybody isn’t booked. Any of the top restaurants anyone on here is thinking of, the top spots got booked a month ago so you gotta think outside the box at this point


EDIT: If y’all hit OpenTable right now they got Valentines Day reservations for a bunch of dope spots in the city with special V Day deals, y’all should be good

I gotta do that eventually. My homeboy's wife did that for his birthday and it was

appetizer: collard green dip with pita chips
main: a choice of lamb, chicken or fish with rice and vegetable side
dessert: Krispy Kreme bread pudding

I cant even remember what we had to drink
