Saturday 24th October
UK Black Chefs Network presents:
FROM GRASS ROOTS — featuring Chef Carniel Levy @b_thatchef
🇯🇲 Jamaican cuisine 🇯🇲
This one feels different.
I’m going back to the beginning…… Grass roots.
Chef Carniel Levy was the very first chef I featured for the UKBCN supper club — Jamaican cuisine, elevated , reimagined through a fine-dining lens.
And now, we’re bringing it full circle.
The venue?
@thegoodfrontroom__ - 1 Dalston Tower, Dalston square
A place that holds a little piece of my own story too. I was here helping scrub down the walk-in fridge walls and floors alongside the late Chef Dom Taylor, getting the space ready for launch.
So when I say From Grass Roots, I mean it.
This feels like a reset. Back to the foundation. Back to the people who supported me. Back to why I started this network in the first place.
And then there’s @kromanti_rum
One of the very first brands to believe in UKBCN when hardly anyone knew what it was. Now, years later, I’ve got their rum stocked behind the bar — and you’ll be drinking it and hearing about it on the night.
That’s full circle. 🥃
Three courses. Cocktails. Good people. Great food. And a room full of Black culinary talent, community and connection.
Because this is the network.
From grass roots to where we’re going next. 🌱
