The Menu was designed to illustrate some of the most important people and institutions which have impacted our lives as African Americans in Maryland and throughout the Country but, most importantly in Baltimore City.  It’s a way that we to can reflect on the past, and to look forward to our future. We pay tribute to the people who have contributed so much  and we honor them in this way so that they never slip from our memories. We hope that one day the torch can be passed on to our kids who are our future leaders.  That’s why if you order a "Laketrout",it’s now known as a "Doris Williams".  The founder and creator of the world’s famous Lake trout. That’s right...Ms. Williams, God Bless her Soul, created this inspiration of food.

She put countless kids through College and employed over 100 rehabilitated people whom were previously shut out of main stream employment opportunities.  Ms. Williams beat the odds as a successful business women who did so much, but never asked for anything in return.

Our menu will grow and their names will forever live on.  In many ways, we await the day that your name may grace it as well.   By the way...4 wings and fries are known as a "Chicken Head".  We apologize to all the Chicken heads who may have taken offence to this.  Smile and be happy.  Hey we are adding the following names to the Menu very soon: The Softones, The Basement Boys and City College. More names will be added to the Menu in the Future!!
