"Oakland, CA Expected to Open: TBA Burdell in Oakland will be a modern soul food restaurant that honors the impact Black farmers, ranchers, fishers, and foragers have had on American cuisine with dishes that date back to 1800s street food. The soul spot will also incorporate Oakland’s own food history, with influences from its Black, Vietnamese, and Mexican cuisines, all while featuring excellent California produce and ingredients. There’s no official opening date or menu yet, but we hope dishes from Burdell’s pop-up days, like cherries and white cheddar with shavings of country ham, make an appearance. " - anne cruz
