Bombay Bramble & Chef Tate Celebrate the Legacy of Black Farmers Through Its Cultivating Community Dinner in ATL

Where there is fellowship, there is power, and Bombay Bramble and Chef Omar Tate’s Cultivating Community Dinner is proof in the pudding.

On Monday, Aug. 22, some of Atlanta’s best of the best gathered for an immersive experience at Twisted Soul to spotlight the importance of supporting Black farmers and engaging in topics and conversations that push the culture forward.

Chef Omar Tate was joined by Chef Deborah VanTrece to equip guests with fresh food that stemmed from neighboring farmers including West Georgia’s Farmer’s Cooperative and Ula Farms. The family-style dinner included a fresh farm salad and microgreens picked straight from the Ula gardens as well as a decadent Southern Charred Succotash Stew, Geechie Boy Grits, and a Cast Iron Seared Duck Breast and Marinated Grilled Tri Tip Steak providing delicious eats to accompany the real treat — bringing the community together.

The Cultivating Community Dinner series initially kicked off in New York City and following a pit stop in Atlanta, made its way to New Orleans on the journey to spotlighting Black farmers, their produce, and the significant role that they play in the livelihood of people across the nation.

“We’re very happy to be here,” said Chef Tate. “The menu that was inspired today is a restaurant menu that was created by myself with the amazing team here. The cocktails and what we were enjoying during the cocktail hour was the Bombay Bramble Berry Sour in collaboration with Bombay.”

Since the beginning of times, cultures from all over the world have bonded at the dinner table. It is a safe space for people to connect in a way that is the epitome of the true meaning of human connection and Bombay’s commitment to uplifting these experiences. And if the food wasn’t enough, guests were able to grab freshly picked produce straight from the tables to take home including squash, tomatoes, corn, fresh berries, and more.
