Adrienne Cheatham Instagram – Happy Juneteenth Freedom Jubilee Day to all. This is the true day of America’s independence, when ALL Americans know they are free.
Today I thank my coterie of chef friends and colleagues who helped to bring my visions to celebrate this day to life during my tenure at @thespruceeats @dotdashmeredith.
1. As a follow up to my BHM programming, I took the first step writing the first Juneteenth piece for Spruce Eats ever and right before publishing @potus declared June 19th a federal holiday!
2. Had to hit up @rosh_lashana of @forthecocktailculture again to bless us with a cock-tale tying historical facts to cocktail ingredients to tell a delicious story.
3. If you love @chefadriennecheatham cooking, read her writing. Thoughtful and inspired is all I can say.
4 5. Inspired by her specialty ramen boxes I had to have Chef Rasheeda Purdie of @ramenbyra bless me with her Juneteenth table and her craveable watermelon ramen recipe. Thanks to @bakingistherapy for bringing it to life.
6. Last but not least, the master @soulfoodscholar Adrian Miller took my idea to honor Texas on this day with Black pitmasters from each corner of the state netted powerful words from @smokeyjohnsbbq @hooversez @mamaandpapajoes and @bravotopchef Wisconsin cheftestant @betweentheslices.
It was a honor and privilege to create this content with these brilliant people and the talented teams at the company. Thank you!
Now go out and celebrate your freedom today.
