Chef Kwame Onwuachi Explores His Roots, and His New York Upbringing, at Tatiana

"Located in New York City’s Lincoln Center in the Upper West Side, Chef Kwame Onwuachi’s Tatiana, is named after his sister and is an homage to his West African, Caribbean, and Creole roots. Before opening the restaurant, he looked at the land that was there before Lincoln Center and saw that it was Old San Juan Hill – a predominantly Black and Afro-Latin neighborhood that was pushed out. Knowing the history of the land made him feel even more inspired to create a restaurant that honors the people who made the city what it is." - Alexis Benveniste
