For last weekend's Kentucky Derby, our Operations and Culinary Team created a truly unforgettable experience complete with delicious hors d’oeuvres, specialty cocktails, live music, and coverage of the 150th Run for the Roses.
Sure, we're known for the cocktail that is our bar's namesake, but there's another storied cocktail that is a must-try when you visit the Sazerac Bar: The Ramos Gin Fizz! Learn more about it and other New Orleans classics in this article from New Orleans Magazine! Cheers!
I'm watching High on the Hog, an excellent food series on Netflix about Black cuisine from all over the diaspora. I know many companies will choose this month to only feature American Southern Cuisine but please remember that Blackness is not a monolith. There is no one "Black" food, there isn't one type of African, African-American, Caribbean, Afro-European, Afro-Latin, Afro-Asian.. you see where I'm going with it..
I worked at a vfx company that had an industrial kitchen, they let us cook whatever we wanted, and they also catered meals. I worked late and would cook and bake all the time. I would share my meals with my co-workers, and we had a little after work foodie community that I truly miss. The one thing I appreciated is that the company would hire really good caterers who brought every type of food from lumpia to collard greens all year long, we had an array of different pepper sauces co-workers would bring from all over the world that anyone could use. Having that choice, made me feel comfortable, I was able to be myself at work. Having tabasco, sriacha, tapatio, wasabi paste or crystal hot sauce might seem like a small thing, but it's still a representation of culture.
I have worked a lot of places with awful food, especially at larger companies who water down "ethnic" meals and remove their wonderful spices to appease the palate of the majority. If you are still planning or thinking about having a Black History celebration, please hire a caterer or vendor. Do not expect your corporate chefs to make gumbo, jollof rice, mofongo, la bandera, black eyed peas, injera, or any other combination of foods that represent these various cultures. If you want to celebrate Black History or any other cultural history in the kitchen, do it all the time, not just during the nationally designated month.
Fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is crucial, especially in light of the disbandment of DEI teams and ERG groups by several companies. The current trend of attempting to diminish diversity underscores the urgency of our commitment to creating inclusive workplaces.
If you find comfort in enjoying a diverse array of cuisines, such as Taco Tuesday, curry, ramen, and more, it is imperative that your workplaces reflect the same diversity and inclusion. Otherwise, companies risk contributing to the very problem we should be actively addressing. Let us strive to build environments where every individual, regardless of their background, feels valued, heard, and represented. Oh and watch High on the Hog :)

If music is the international language, wine is the global toast.
For all kinds of occasions, or none at all, raising a glass means good job, good wishes, and good luck. Wine launches ships, celebrates treaties, marks graduations, cheers weddings, recognizes success, and brings joy to family and friends.
The Greek, Chinese, and Scandanavian equivalents of “Cheers” above are just a few of many wine wishes listed in WineAmerica’s special website section, The Magic of Wine. It also has pages on fun facts, quotes about wine, its agricultural roots, economic impact and much more. This is not just for you to enjoy, but to download, link to, and pass on to your friends and colleagues.

In honor of Black History Month, I thought I would highlight five Black female chefs who are totally crushing the food industry right now. Some you may have read about, or seen on TV. Hopefully, you’ve been lucky enough to taste their amazing food. If not, a road trip or two might be in order. These five chefs are doing some of the most dynamic cooking I’ve tasted in a long time.

So that's what we did.
