Chef of the Year Jonny Rhodes Battles Soul Food Stereotypes at Houston’s Indigo - Eater Houston
"When Jonny Rhodes, Eater Houston’s 2018 Chef of the Year, announced that he would open his ‘neo-soul food’ restaurant Indigo, no one knew quite what to expect. At the time, Rhodes promised that he would use his Lindale Park restaurant to address stereotypes surrounding African-Americans and the cuisines of the African diaspora. Now, he’s quietly plotting an agricultural revolution. The success of Indigo, which has earned Rhodes national attention and local adoration, is something that even he was surprised by." - Amy McCarthy
