Local food blogger Starex Smith — AKA @TheHungry Black Man — has teamed up with retired NFL cornerback Kayvon Webster to celebrate the Black American dining experience. With the help of former Southern Spice executive chef Malcolm Prude and chefs Gerald Harvey and Cecil G, they deliver their own take on African-American comfort food classics that touch on a variety of cultures and cuisines, from southern in the Caribbean. Many represent their own personal favorites and they want to share them with everyone, regardless of ethnicity. 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. Wednesday to Friday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
