This February, Bubby’s pays homage to the African American influence on the food we serve at Bubby’s. They will also feature recipes from “What Mrs Fisher Knows about Old Southern Cooking”, the first African American cookbook, which was written by Abby Fisher, a freed slave who lived in San Francisco.

Cooking greens with meat, sweet potatoes (yams), peanuts, fried chicken, beans and rice, or cornbread came directly from West Africa or were adapted by West Africans in early America: watermelon, okra, sesame, black eyed peas… all will be highlighted. .

Join Bubby’s for some tasty Hoppin’ John, Sweet Potato Hash with House Cured Country Ham & Red Eye Gravy, Shrimp and Grits, Collard Greens with Ham Hocks & Pot Likker and Corn Pone, and a Lafayette-Style Dark Gumbo as well as stuff we cook all the time, like Fried Chicken, Black Eyed Peas, Fried Okra, and a many of our regular menu that would not be here but for these powerful influences. Come help us celebrate the African roots of our food during Black History month.
