Japan to America Wagyu, meaning "black cow," was raised exclusively in Japan for hundreds of years. Our American Wagyu boasts an impressive genetic heritage and a meticulously slow feeding program that is free of growth hormones. If Wagyu is new to you, it’s important to read our cooking tips to ensure the tastiest experience from this incredibly tender beef.
Ingrid Chen McCarthy RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT CHEF
WAGY U COO KI N G TI PS • Seasoning. Because Wagyu is a very flavorful cut, season it with salt and pepper only. There’s no need to overwhelm it with marinades or heavy sauces. • Preparation. Take the Wagyu out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. This will help your steaks cook more evenly throughout. • Cooking. Preheat a cast-iron pan over high heat with a small amount of oil or butter (the steak will render a lot of fat on its own). Cook 3-4 minutes per side. • Doneness. Cook to mediumrare. Anything beyond that will negatively impact the inherent flavor and texture of Wagyu. • Resting. Let your steak rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will allow the meat fibers to relax and reabsorb the juices. American Wagyu Half-Loin Ribeye or Half-Loin New York Strip $44.99 lb

the name says it all Kahawa means “coffee” in Swahili, and 1893 is the year that coffee was first introduced to Africa.
M A RGA R E T N YA M U M BO A third-generation coffee farmer from Kenya, Margaret Nyamumbo grew up in Kisii, a region of Kenya that’s renowned for producing some of the world’s finest coffee. She founded Kahawa 1893 with a twofold mission: to share African coffee with the world and to advocate for gender equality in the region’s coffee industry. In Kisii, women perform 90% of the farm labor but own less than 1% of the land. Nyamumbo works to fulfill that mission by sourcing coffee directly from women-owned farms and promoting traditional African farming practices that preserve the soil. She even makes it easy for coffee drinkers to help, with a QR code on each bag that links to her Tip the Farmer program. Kahawa 1893 12 OZ, SELECT VARIETIES

MIKAILA ULMER When 4-year-old Mikaila Ulmer got stung by a bee twice in one week, she set out to conquer her fear of the buzzing insects by learning all she could about them. Soon, she became fascinated by bees and the role they play in our ecosystem. When her parents encouraged her to create a product to showcase at local youth entrepreneurial events, she decided to add a buzzy twist to her great-grandmother’s flaxseed lemonade recipe, adding honey instead of just sugar. More than 10 years later, her Me & the Bees ready-to-drink lemonades come in five flavors, and a percentage of the profits goes to local and international organizations working to protect honey bees.

D E N ISE WOO DA R D When her daughter was diagnosed with several food allergies, Denise Woodard couldn’t find healthier snacks that were safe and delicious, so she left her corporate job and set out to make her own. Food allergies affect 1 in 13 children across the country, and (according to foodallergy.org) Black children are at a significantly higher risk of developing these allergies. Passionate about getting safe food into the hands of food insecure families, Denise partners with organizations like No Kid Hungry to provide access to the food, education and advocacy these families deserve. As a Black female CEO, Denise is passionate about raising awareness of Black and female entrepreneurship and increasing opportunities for underrepresented people seeking careers in the food and beverage industry. In 2020, Denise founded Black Futures in Food & Beverage, a fellowship that mentors HBCU students and helps them secure internships and jobs at the program’s end.

Cook Like a chef with
NYESHA A R R I N GTO N
@nyeshajoyce Chef Nyesha Arrington’s love affair with cooking began alongside her Korean grandmother where she was introduced to foods as diverse as bulgogi, octopus and kimchi. A graduate of the Art Institute of California in Los Angeles, Chef Arrington draws from a fine dining background and has worked with renowned French chef Joel Robuchon. The late Jonathan Gold placed both of her California restaurants in the “Best 101 of Los Angeles.” She has also been featured in myriad publications including Los Angeles Times, Food & Wine and the cover of Every Day With Rachael Ray. Chef Arrington owns and operates chef consulting and catering businesses and delights in cooking food that “hugs the soul.” You’ve described your cuisine as “Progressive Californian.” What does that mean to you? And how do you think it differs from other California native chefs? My style of cooking is very much authentic to my personal journey. It’s rooted in Southern California cuisine, where I was born and raised, but I’ve also had the opportunity to travel around the world and pick up ingredients or techniques from the places I’ve visited. Along with the fundamentals of cooking for French fine dining that I learned growing up, I developed a global tapestry in my cooking. My food is also rooted in storytelling and seasonality—which is how we primarily cook in California. We generally stick to the farmers markets and tend to be health-focused but unafraid of flavor. When people think of California cuisine, they often think of avocado toast and a smoothie with a chia seed bowl. But it’s not that. California cuisine—and particularly what I’ve dubbed Progressive California cuisine—follows the trends. It’s fun food that feeds not only your palate, but also your soul. Would you share what Black History Month means to you as an Afro-Korean woman? Do you have special traditions during this month?

February, for me, is a time of reflection—a time that I slow down, be present and not labor as much. It’s a time to pay homage to ancestors, both in my family and folks who have made history. I’m predominantly a Black woman. Both of my parents were working parents and my grandmother—a Korean immigrant—helped raise me. I’m fortunate to have had a grand matriarch in the family bestow a lot of her lived experience onto me. I feel like that’s helped to shape a lot of my discipline and work ethic as an adult. My dad’s side of the family comes from Mississippi. There’s a lot of generational root systems that speak to the diaspora of Africans through Mississippi and the South over to California. It shows this sort of timeline of who we are as people. Are there Black chefs, cooks or restaurateurs who have inspired you? So many, like Tiffany Derry. I’ve watched her journey from Top Chef to hosting television shows to being an incredible leader. I think she’s one of the most influential Black chefs in America. Mashama Bailey has grown to be one of my favorite people on the planet. Her passion exudes excellence.
How did your sauce brand, Aisoon, which is part of the recipe we feature, come to be? How does it speak to your grandmother’s legacy and your own? I remember going to my grandmother’s house and opening the refrigerator door and hearing clanking of glass, all repurposed glass, whether that was a mayo bottle or a ketchup bottle. She’d always wash off the labels and repurpose them and make this sauce. I was four or five years old, but it just fed my soul. I remember thinking, “This tastes so delicious, and it’s so spicy.” Grandma sweated the details. She did it the hard way. And it’s so hard to mimic that. But I feel like if you carry the love in your heart, that’s the true secret ingredient. This was the first step in venturing out because not every single person I wanted to touch could come to the restaurant. But if I can add value in the home and bring some joy on the plate and empower someone to pick up a pan, that’s true impact. That’s why I started it. And it has been a passion project. For the first few rounds, I rented out my friend’s commissary kitchen, and my sister and I bottled and labeled every bottle and sealed every package. And I think it’s just fun, those sort of origin stories and finding joy and the why of what you’re doing. There have been moments when I wish you could just sell these moments of joy. So the quest is really for me to evoke that emotion in the sauce. Could you share an example of how you apply sustainable practices to your cooking? It comes down to being intentional. When I buy whole chickens, I break down the chicken and use the bones for stock. Same with fish. I make stock
A ISOO N SH O R T R I BS & S W E E T P OTATO GR ITS Slow-cooked ribs seasoned with Korean flavors, like Asian pear, orange zest, sesame oil and soy and perfectly paired with creamy sweet potato grits.
VIEW RECIPE
out of the bones and take the meat off the filet to make chips out of the skin. The skins are omega-rich and make delicious, texturized chips. Another example is what I do when we have a dish with braised leeks on the menu that called for the bottoms, leaving unused leak tops. I dehydrate the tops and grind them into a powder. They make a brilliant green, robust flavor dust that tastes like sour cream and onion chips—perfect for dusting on fish skin. If you have vegetables going bad in the fridge, bake them, crush them up, use them in your oatmeal, and make a vegetable crumble or something else. All these things cost nothing and waste nothing. Other than composting, these are my favorite ways to be sustainable. Would you share the inspiration behind the featured recipe, Aisoon Short Ribs & Sweet Potato Grits? My grandmother inspired the Aisoon [Korean] flavors, which are named after her. This is a quintessential example of how a dish can tell a story and the power a recipe can hold. The dish dates to around 2006, when I learned the technique of braising in the first Michelin-starred kitchen I worked in. There’s a beautiful art and soulfulness that goes into taking something like a short rib and slow cooking it for a few hours. The dish started to become my own when I opened my first restaurant in 2014. I took elements of the original dish, the mirepoix or the French Trinity of carrot, onion and celery, and I added robust Korean flavors, like Asian pear, orange zest, sesame oil and soy. I served it with beautiful heirloom potatoes roasted with beef fat and the short rib with a beautiful glaze. It quickly became the most popular dish on the menu, and the LA Times wrote a beautiful cover story on it. As a kid growing up, my family would make breakfast on Saturday and Sunday mornings with the most delicious, humble ingredients, like ground cornmeal. When you cook it over time, it tends to soften, and it has this most pleasurable texture to it by adding a little salted butter. I just loved it. As a native Californian, I’m always searching for how to add vegetables or produce to my dishes, and I thought, “What if I marry the two and make this a sweet potato grits moment that adds vitamin A, vitamin C, nutrients, texture and flavor?” I served that dish to about 700 people at an event, and I got emails for weeks and weeks. When I returned the next year, people were still talking about it.
