The role of rice in African American farming, cooking and culture.

The Roadhouse is very excited to announce one of our most intriguing special event dinners yet—our 14th annual African American foodways dinner! We will welcome back the dynamic writer and speaker Stephen Satterfield to take us back to the roots of rice cooking in African American culture, and share stories of current African American chefs who are bringing heirloom rice back into the forefront of culinary trends.

This dinner will also offer a fundraiser for the expansion of We the People Growers Association, a farm in Ypsilanti which offers food and opportunities to the community. Donation options are available in addition to your ticket purchase.

You’re guaranteed to leave inspired to learn more and well fed! And by helping raise money for We the People Growers Association, we help the good work being done here, and around the country, to restore the traditions of African American farming.
