On a very hot day in June, six chefs stood around a butcher block prep table in a kitchen in West Philly, talking over loaves of sweet potato bread. It was only three months out from the opening of Honeysuckle Provisions — a grocery store and takeout spot founded by chefs Cybille St.Aude-Tate and Omar Tate — and the menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner had been enthusiastically listed on a dry-erase board above a sink. In big capital letters under “lunch,” a sense of joy jumped out in a word: HOAGIE! With Honeysuckle's highly anticipated opening coming at the end of September, read our report on the shop focusing on community, Black cooking, and foodways from the diaspora. 📸: @njovn / 🖊: @hidayna
