Summary: Since the 2016 opening of the National Museum of African American History and Culture, its Sweet Home Café has become a destination in its own right. Showcasing African American contributions to American cuisine, the café offers favorite dishes made with locally sourced ingredients, adding modern flavors and contemporary twists on classics. With African, Caribbean, and European influences blended together, the recipes illustrate the pivotal-- and often overlooked-- role that African Americans have played in creating and re-creating American foodways.
