As a release notes, the evening will be a collaboration of Gullah Geechee cuisine infused with Ember & Ash’s live-fire cooking techniques, including ingredients grown at Gilliard Farms—the 50-acre homestead was purchased by Matthew’s great-great-great-grandfather and freed slave Jupiter Gilliard in 1874 for $9.</p><div class='s2nPlayer k-Tre9QH63' data-type='float'></div><script type='text/javascript' src='//embed.sendtonews.com/player3/embedcode.js?fk=Tre9QH63&cid=14111&offsetx=100&offsety=0&floatwidth=400&floatposition=bottom-right' data-type='s2nScript'></script> <p>While there, diners will be able to indulge in dishes like shrimp toast with saffron coconut rice and pickled okra; head hash terrine with fennel and citrus; smoked grouper with middlin risotto and hoja santa; sweet potato olive oil cake; and more. Seating times are 5, 6 and 7 p.m., and the dinner comes out to be $95 per person (plus tax and gratuity). Reservations are available now via Resy.</p> <p>“We’ve wanted to do a collaboration with longtime friends Scott and Lulu Calhoun of Ember & Ash for a while, as my ties to Philly run deep,” explained Tia in a statement. Both Scott and Tia worked with chef Marc Vetri at Lo Spiedo, and Tia was the culinary director for his nonprofit, Vetri Community Partnership from 2012 to 2014.</p> <p>The Raifords, who were Culinary Institute of America grads, decided to switch gears to take their culinary skills to their historic farm in rural Georgia with a mission in mind: To “engage the world with African American foodways, revive the holistic practices of their ancestors, and help to feed their diverse community high-quality, locally-grown organic produce that are sustainably farmed.”</p><div id="emp-aeebf" class="amp-action" style="text-align:center;"> <script type="text/javascript"> var divsize = document.querySelector('#emp-aeebf').parentNode.clientWidth; var rnd = Math.floor(Math.random()*10e6); var pid560152 = rnd; var plc560152 = window.plc560152 || 0; var abkw = window.abkw || ''; var absrc = 'https://ads.empowerlocal.co/adserve/;ID=181918;size=0x0;setID=560152;type=js;sw='+screen.width+';sh='+screen.height+';spr='+window.devicePixelRatio+';kw='+abkw+';pid='+pid560152+';place='+(plc560152++)+';rnd='+rnd+';click=CLICK_MACRO_PLACEHOLDER'; var _absrc = absrc.split("type=js"); absrc = _absrc[0] + 'type=js;referrer=' + encodeURIComponent(document.location.href) + _absrc[1]; document.write('<scr'+'ipt src="'+absrc+'" type="text/javascript"></'+'script>'); </script></div> <figure id="attachment_179703" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-179703" style="max-width: 467px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-179703" src="https://metrophiladelphia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Raifords2.jpg?w=467" alt="Georgia, Philly Black History Month" width="467" height="700" srcset="https://metrophiladelphia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Raifords2.jpg 1300w, https://metrophiladelphia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Raifords2.jpg?resize=467,700 467w, https://metrophiladelphia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Raifords2.jpg?resize=768,1151 768w, https://metrophiladelphia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Raifords2.jpg?resize=801,1200 801w, https://metrophiladelphia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Raifords2.jpg?resize=1025,1536 1025w, https://metrophiladelphia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Raifords2.jpg?resize=256,384 256w, https://metrophiladelphia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Raifords2.jpg?resize=601,900 601w, https://metrophiladelphia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Raifords2.jpg?resize=1068,1600 1068w, https://metrophiladelphia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Raifords2.jpg?resize=33,50 33w" sizes="(max-width: 467px) 100vw, 467px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-179703" class="wp-caption-text"><span class="image-credit">Robert Rausch</span></figcaption></figure> <p>As a release notes, the couple believes in cultivating the land and pioneering a return to the regenerative practices of their forefathers — the Freshwater Gullah Geechee, who were direct descendants of West Africans brought to the U.S. as slaves for their expertise in rice and indigo cultivation.</p> <p>This Black History Month celebration will continue with the Bookers event on the 26. Titled “A Great Migration Dinner,” Matthew will be using his skills as a historian and climate change activist to lead guests through a multi-course dinner and discussion recounting the history of the movement to the urban North by six million southern Blacks between 1910 and 1970. The James Beard semi-finalist and author of ‘Bress ‘n’ Nyam’ will also delve into how they brought their rich culinary traditions to a new life in the Northeast, Midwest, and West.</p> <p>Highlighted dishes span a pickled vegetable plate with Jamaican-style spinach patties, De Wata (salmon croquettes with red rice and herb salad),Win’ – Poulet Yassa (Senegalese style lemon pepper chicken with vegan teff stew), sweet potato pone with toasted walnut semifreddo and more. There will also be two De Spirits (complimentary cocktails) — a Gullah Geechie Gin Rickey or an alcohol-free hibiscus and lime spritzer.</p> <p>“Many African Americans’ roots can be traced to the Great Migration, including our own families,” said Cheri and Tracey Syphax from Booker’s restaurant in a statement. “We thought it would be a no-brainer to have Matthew join us for this special event, especially during Black History Month, given the fact that the namesake of our restaurant Booker Wright, is a famous waiter who worked in a whites-only restaurant in the 1960s Mississippi while also running his restaurant that catered to black customers.”</p> <p>The dinner starts at 6 p.m. and costs $75 per person (plus tax and gratuity). <p><em>To find out more information on “From Georgia with Love”, visit <a href="https://emberandashphilly.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">emberandashphilly.com</a> and <a href="https://bookersrestaurantandbar.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bookersrestaurantandbar.com</a></em></p> <div class="addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content addtoany_content_bottom"><div class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list" data-a2a-url="https://metrophiladelphia.com/georgia-philly-black-history-month/" data-a2a-title="Georgia brings some love to Philly for Black History Month"><a class="a2a_button_facebook" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fmetrophiladelphia.com%2Fgeorgia-philly-black-history-month%2F&linkname=Georgia%20brings%20some%20love%20to%20Philly%20for%20Black%20History%20Month" title="Facebook" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_twitter" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/twitter?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fmetrophiladelphia.com%2Fgeorgia-philly-black-history-month%2F&linkname=Georgia%20brings%20some%20love%20to%20Philly%20for%20Black%20History%20Month" title="Twitter" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_dd addtoany_share_save addtoany_share" href="https://www.addtoany.com/share"></a></div></div> </div> <div class="article-footer"> <div class="addthis_inline_share_toolbox"></div> <div class="author-meta"> <h3 class="about-the-author">About the Author</h3> <div class="meta-box author-meta-box"> <img alt='' src='https://metrophiladelphia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/IMG-6486.png?w=192&h=192&crop=1' srcset='https://metrophiladelphia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/IMG-6486.png?w=192&h=192&crop=1 2x' class='avatar avatar-128 photo' height='128' width='128' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> <div class="metadata author-metadata"> <h4 class="meta-name author-name"><a href="https://metrophiladelphia.com/author/molly-given/">Molly Given</a></h4> <p>Molly Given is an award-winning journalist covering features and entertainment while currently residing in Philadelphia.
