The New York Times called this new restaurant one of the top 10 new New York restaurants of 2021. Learn more about the chef making it all happen:
Freeman, 28, grew up in Richmond, Virginia with a big family . Food was at the center of their familial relationship, from Thanksgiving dinner to their Fourth of July cookout and Christmas brunch at Freeman’s mother’s house. “There was always a lot of soul food—fried oysters, chitlins, certain staples,” she explains. It filled her with happy memories: “When it comes to soul food, there's a little bit more love and thought and care put into it.
It also piqued her interest in cooking. As a student at Howard University in D.C., she took a job as a line cook at a local concert venue which later led to a manager position at famed city haunt Marvin. She loved the hospitality industry, but the nocturnal lifestyle it required started impacting her health. “That just brought along a lot of late nights—a lot of Jameson, things of that nature and not really keeping up with my body or my diet,” she says.
It took over eight months of taste-testing to perfect her vegan vision. She looked to her old family recipes for inspiration: “The grits are my grandma’s staple, the palm cakes are similar to the salmon cakes my mom used to make,” Freeman says. “I’m just putting my own vegan and culinary twists on them.”Everything on Cadence’s menu qualifies as comfort food, yet Freeman treats it with the utmost elegance, plating everything with precision.
It’s a culinary cause many can get behind. Due to the health and environmental benefits of the diet, interest around veganism in the United States is exploding.
