Citizen Vinyl is thrilled to announce its first-ever dinner series: Turntable Suppers. They're chef-driven meals, paired with vinyl records. Our inaugural supper features James Beard-nominated Chef Cleophus Hethington, of Benne On Eagle.
He'll be curating a prix fixe menu influenced by the foodways of the African Diaspora -- honoring the legacy and history across Latin America, Black America, the Caribbean and Africa. Each dish will be accompanied by Afrobeat, Cuban jazz, and soca records.
A portion of proceeds will go toward Therapist Like Me: a non-profit, 501(c)3 dedicated to connecting minority-identifying clients to minority-identifying therapists, advancing therapists of color, providing financial gifts to minority-identifying clients for psychotherapy, reducing societal stigma surrounding mental health, and supporting our community.
