Episode 28 – Michael Singleton

If you frequent the Farmer’s Market under the JFX or in Waverly, you’ve had to maneuver your way around some long lines. The longest line usually belongs to Blacksauce Kitchen. Their handmade biscuits are buttery and flaky, and when they make them into sandwiches with stuff like applewood smoked pork, onion jam and a farm fresh egg well…speaking from personal experience, it’s a good way to start your weekend. In this interview I talked to Michael Singleton, sous chef at Blacksauce.  Born and raised on the westside, Michael’s parents made sure he got the best education money could buy in Baltimore. He talks about his experiences at Gilman, going to school in the Midwest, and why “everybody gets a turn” on the cultural appropriation ride. Blacksauce is on Facebook and IG.

brioxy-horiz-med-fdcd9fa2fc6442a20e873060b6400bb1The 2016 Brioxy Innovation Summit was a four day excursion into the hearts and minds of the “Ready Generation”; minority millennials (with some Gen Xers and Baby Boomers) who want to own their future. The second day was at The Loft at 600 F in the nation’s capital, where discussions about knowledge of self and Black Girl Magic were paramount. We also partied; can’t stay woke and forget to turn up! Special thanks to Cole and Brioxy, Andrés Reyes of California Endowment, and Tim St. Clair. Day 3 coming soon!
