Investing in Black culture isn’t something Chef JJ Johnson takes lightly. On the contrary, 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 his way of reclaiming the beauty and utter brilliance of African American cuisine, a chance to savor and celebrate the people who have made and continue to make it sing. Conceived and hosted by the FIELDTRIP chef and founder himself, this one-of-a-kind SOBEWFF® walkaround event will spotlight some dishes that give Black culture its richly layered flavor, brought to life by an exceptional group of diverse chefs who, like Chef JJ, are passionate about reconstructing past foodways and honoring culturally-relevant ingredients and techniques. Join them at 1 Beach Club, an outdoor oasis in a laidback luxurious atmosphere tucked behind 1 Hotel South Beach for this celebration of community that seeks to flip the narrative while spooning out some seriously delicious flavors.
