This morning, Besa Gordon joined Good Day Seattle to preview Chef Trey Lamont’s new series Food With Melanin, highlighting the stories and history behind local Black chefs. The first installment featured Chef Erika White of Fat’s Chicken and Waffles in Seattle’s Central District, where the two chefs dug into Fat’s significance in Seattle’s Black community, the restaurant space’s rich background in the historic neighborhood, and the importance of giving Black chefs their flowers. 

The first preview of Food With Melanin airs this weekend on Back2Besa, hosted by Chef Trey Lamont of Jerk Shack Kitchen. Watch Back2Besa on FOX 13 Seattle, Saturdays at 10:30 p.m. and FOX 13+ Sundays at 10 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.
