CHEF DEMETRIUS BROWN TO DEBUT MONTHLY HERITAGE SUPPER CLUB TASTING MENU EXPERIENCE AT BREAD & BUTTERFLY

Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 9/9/24

Exclusive Tasting Experience Will Explore the Culinary Richness of the African Diaspora, with Limited Seatings

First Event Scheduled for Friday, September 27

Bread & Butterfly, the Atlanta restaurant led by Executive Chef and Owner Demetrius Brown, is excited to announce that Brown’s brainchild, the Heritage Supper Club dining experience, will be launching a monthly tasting menu experience at Bread & Butterfly. Set to kick off with its inaugural seating on Friday, September 27, the unique experience for four seats only will offer an intimate exploration of the diversity, complexity and beauty of Caribbean and Afro-American cuisine through a special seven-course tasting menu with Chef Demetrius Brown. In contrast to the a la carte selection on Bread & Butterfly dinner menu, the Heritage experience will feature a special tasting menu format, with ever-evolving dishes with a focus on the African diaspora as well as Brown’s personal food memories.

The experience will take place at the Bread & Butterfly bar, providing a personal and immersive dining experience during regular service hours. There will be one seating per night starting at 6pm on one Friday each month – upcoming dates include September 27, October 25, November 22 and December 13. Reservations will be $150 per person and are now available for booking here with optional wine or non-alcoholic beverage pairings. Guests can expect a rotating menu featuring dishes like:

  • Carmen’s Cucumbers – cucumber granita, mint & black pepper
  • Oxtail Waakye – braised oxtail, plantains, rice & beans
  • Efo Riro – smoked herring, callaloo, obe ata & African basil
  • Bobotie – roasted mushroom, apricot & pecan chutney & dill
  • Jerk Chicken – chicken yakitori & cilantro yogurt
  • Canjica – hominy, brigadeiro, coconut, peanut brittle & dulce de leche

A pandemic-born passion project, Heritage Supper Club is Brown’s personal venture fueled by his yearslong quest to explore Caribbean and Afro-American tradition and cuisine. Dedicated to celebrating these cultures through food, Brown officially launched the idea as a pop-up in 2021, hosting the experience at local, acclaimed hotspots in the evenings – including Bread & Butterfly. The first dinner was a tremendous success and sparked conversations that eventually led Brown and his business partner Brandon Blanchard to acquire the existing French restaurant Bread & Butterfly in August 2023. 

As part of Bread & Butterfly’s next chapter, Brown opened the restaurant for dinner service, featuring a new menu serving French cuisine as seen through the lens of the African diaspora, taking guests on a culinary journey traversing continents. Paying homage to Bread & Butterfly’s roots, Brown has kept many beloved breakfast and lunch dishes on the menu as mainstays while infusing his signature culinary style and building upon strong relationships with small, local farms.
