Miami Beach, FL – February 24, 2024 – Investing in Black culture is priority #1 for chef JJ Johnson. The James Beard Award-winning chef, author, and TV personality has made it his personal and professional mission to amplify Black culture through food – to use food not merely as a means of breaking boundaries and building bridges but to reimagine it as a model for rewriting history.”The Cookout” is Chef JJ’s way of reclaiming and celebrating the beauty and sheer brilliance of African American cuisine. It’s an opportunity to relish and honor the individuals who have breathed life into this extraordinary culinary tradition. As the visionary behind this unique SOBEWFF® walkaround event, hosted by the founder of FIELDTRIP, Chef JJ aimed to spotlight dishes that form the rich tapestry of Black culture.
