Mimicking the ethos of chef Chis Williams’ restaurant Lucille’s, Lucille’s 1913 pays homage to his great-grandmother and African-American culinary pioneer Lucille B. Smith. In 1913, as the nation was celebrating “Jubilee Year” — the 50th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation — Lucille B. Smith was giving birth to her catering business in Fort Worth, Texas. This endeavor enabled her to raise funds for community service projects and advocacy initiatives. Lucille’s 1913 was born out of this same love of community.
