The newest program from the HEINZ® Black
Kitchen Initiative serves up top restaurant takeovers
HEINZ® announces today Open Kitchen, a new event series from the
brand’s Black Kitchen Initiative. Kicking off in partnership with
world-renowned chef, Marcus Samuelsson, past and current Black
Kitchen Initiative grantees will take over restaurant kitchens for
exclusive pop-up experiences. Open Kitchen gives up-and-coming
Black chefs new opportunities, experiences, resources, and exposure
for their culinary businesses – currently one of the largest
barriers to success in the American restaurant industry. The first
takeovers will happen in New York and Atlanta.

Marcus Samuelsson – the creative and culinary force behind more
than a dozen restaurants worldwide – will open two of his most
iconic locations to past Black Kitchen Initiative grant recipients
to kick off the program. Samuelsson will also collaborate with the
chefs on exclusive dishes for each event.
- On Dec. 6, 2023, Joy Crump and Beth Black will bring their
signature Virginia flair to New York’s Red Rooster Harlem. Crump
and Black own Foode + Mercantile in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The
chefs celebrate Black culture through food, music, community and
storytelling.
- On Feb. 21, 2024, Samuelsson will open Marcus Bar & Grille
in Atlanta, Georgia to Lorraine “Mama” Smalls and Antwan “Cake
Daddy” Smalls. The Smalls own My Three Sons in North Charleston,
South Carolina, where they offer classic soul food with a regional
Gullah flair that patrons regularly say is reminiscent of eating
grandma’s homecooked meals.
“Opening a restaurant is tough business,” says Samuelsson. “From
raising capital to getting people to know you are there, it’s an
uphill battle, which is why I’m thrilled to partner with HEINZ on
the new Open Kitchen series to provide resources and additional
exposure to multiple Black Kitchen Initiative grantees. I can’t
wait to see what these chefs cook up in my kitchens. The future is
bright for each of them.”
The Open Kitchen series is the latest program coming out of the
HEINZ Black Kitchen Initiative. Launched in 2020 in partnership
with The LEE Initiative and Southern Restaurants for Racial Justice
(SRRJ), the HEINZ Black Kitchen Initiative aims to celebrate and
preserve the legacy of Black food culture by helping to break down
barriers that keep Black voices and cooking out of America’s
culinary space.
“The Black Kitchen Initiative is a hallmark program for HEINZ as
we recognize the critical way America’s Black-owned food businesses
continuously shape the nation’s food culture,” says Lizzy Goodman,
HEINZ Brand Communications Manager. “All Black Kitchen Initiative
programming strives to set up Black food business entrepreneurs for
long-term success. A key priority for us is growing and evolving
the initiatives – as we’ve done with the new Open Kitchen Series –
to ensure we’re addressing current challenges Black food
entrepreneurs are facing in the industry.”
In addition to Open Kitchen, over the last three years, the
Black Kitchen Initiative has committed a total of $3 million
dollars in grants and released two seasons of the award-winning
Black Kitchen Podcast Series. After announcing the latest $1
million commitment in Black Kitchen Initiative grants in July 2023,
the newest grant recipients have been selected. The full list can
be found at heinz.com/blackkitchen/2023.

Initiative Open Kitchen event in New York on December 6, 2023 by
