If you haven't read chef and owner Kwame Onwuachi's memoir "Notes From a Young Black Chef," the artful Afro-Caribbean dishes at two-year-old Kith/Kin will walk you through his life story. The much-lauded chef, who just claimed the James Beard Foundation 2019 Rising Star Chef title, cites influences that span from Nigeria to Trinidad to the Bronx. Here, that translates to succulent braised oxtail, buttery plates of shrimp and rice, tamarind-accented Jamaican jerk chicken, and monkfish with West African staples like fufu and melon seeds. Even waffle fries get a sprinkling of Ethiopian berbere salt.
