Britain is fast becoming a Cafe Society. Prawns, fillet steak, French-fried potatoes and red wine - that’s our favourite meal in Britain today. Today, we prefer to eat out. With more married women working even Sunday lunch is becoming a restaurant meal.

Gerald Sombright came up through kitchens where white European chefs were presented as the paradigm, but no one looked like him. See, Sombright is Black. “In 1999 when I was 19, I started my kitchen career working prep and washing dishes. I didn't know a brunoise from a baseball, yet I was intrigued.” Sombright would go on to become the first Black man in America to earn a Michelin star. He writes about his rise for @foodandwine, and how he wants more Black men to follow his tracks.

Food & WineThe First Black Man in America to Earn a Michelin Star Wants Black Men to Know There's a Place for Them in Fine DiningWhen Gerald Sombright started working in restaurants, he found that the only role models he was shown were white European men. Now that he won a Michelin star, he wants young Black men to know that there is a place in restaurant kitchens for them.

Adults are usually fairly tidy when dining out. But when kids and babies are along for the experience, a lot of the food meant for their tum tum ends up on the floor floor. So who’s supposed to clean up the mess? The server — who’s waiting on perhaps 20 other people — or the parents paying for the service? Luckily, @foodandwine sorts it all out for us:

Food & WineWho Is Responsible for Cleaning Up a Kid's Mess in a Restaurant, Waiters or Parents?Children can be messy eaters, but when a kid makes a mess in a restaurant, who should clean it up? A longtime waiter has answers for who should clean up food mess, a spilled drink, broken glass, or bodily fluids — the parent or the server.
