Plant-based food and hip-hop go back further than most people think. From dead prez\u2019s \u201cBe Healthy\u201d to Stic.man\u2019s years of vegan advocacy to the movement to name Health & Wellness the culture\u2019s \u201c10th element,\u201d the golden era always had a green streak running through it. This year, One Green Planet is bringing that spirit to one table in New York City.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Chef\u2019s Golden Table is a five-course, 100% plant-based tasting menu where every course is named after a golden-era landmark \u2014 a dinner that eats like a mixtape. It\u2019s vegan soul food, plated with intention by Chef Elijah Brumfield, served at a single shared table for a handful of guests each night.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what makes it different: it\u2019s not a themed restaurant, it\u2019s a night inside the era. Between courses, Chef Elijah Brumfield steps out from behind the pass to tell the story of where hip-hop came from \u2014 the block party to the boom bap \u2014 while the music and visuals of the golden age fill the room. And he lived it: before the kitchen he worked inside hip-hop itself (A&R, music supervisor, Def Jam and EMI), then learned to cook at his father\u2019s side at Harlem\u2019s legendary Sylvia\u2019s, later cooking for Obama and Oprah. His own photography from inside the culture \u2014 collected in his book Golden \u2014 is displayed and narrated through the night.<\/p>\n
And every course is named for a hip-hop landmark and built to echo it \u2014 from \u201cMy Adidas\u201d to \u201cLadies First,\u201d \u201cBrooklyn Zoo,\u201d \u201cTonight\u2019s Da Night,\u201d and \u201cAward Tour.\u201d Five courses, five landmarks, one turntable, 100% plant-based.<\/p>\n
This isn\u2019t a big banquet. It\u2019s intimate on purpose: a single shared table with only a handful of seats each night. Come solo and meet people who love this music and this food as much as you do, or bring your crew and take the whole table.<\/p>\n
