🍽️ Manasseh’s Table: The First Gathering
A story told in four courses — of heritage remembered, flavors reborn, and a new legacy beginning.
⸻
The Return
Suya-spiced onion and pepper soup with provolone & garlic bread
This is where comfort lives — in the fire of pepper soup, in the memory of kitchens filled with steam and stories. Suya spices whisper of home, while provolone and garlic bread invite the unfamiliar to stay a while. Before we can move forward, we return. A fresh welcome. A spicy start. A return to the table
⸻
Our Roots
Crisp matzo topped with spiced melon and grilled suya beef
Before we can move forward, we return. This dish honors the sweetness of what we’ve carried from generations before us — suya from the West African streets that raised us, and matzo from the ancient tables where resilience was first tasted. A course that reminds us: our roots are strong, but they’re not rigid.
⸻
The Healing
Pomegranate-glazed lamb shank over jollof rice
The body of the meal, where the past meets the possible. Slow-braised lamb offers softness and strength, wrapped in the sweetness of pomegranate — a symbol of life and healing. All resting on jollof, the ever-faithful dish that nourished nations and reunions alike. This is a celebration of overcoming, rebuilding, and becoming whole again.
⸻
The Finale
Manasseh’s Brûlée — crème brûlée nestled in caramelized banana
The story ends where all good ones do — in sweetness and light. Banana, familiar and humble. Crème brûlée, delicate and indulgent. Together, they mark the promise of a new chapter: a son on the way, a dream reimagined, a legacy just beginning. This is for Manasseh — our finale, our future.
