Chef aims to make oysters more accessible, especially among the Black community

Chef Jasmine Norton of the first Black woman-owned oyster bar in the country is on a mission to make oysters more accessible and appealing, especially to the Black community. After leaving a hotel career to pursue her passion, Norton is breaking barriers and hopes her success at Urban Oyster will inspire other women of color to own their culinary businesses.

Congrats to Jasmine! Great interview. I remember trying Urban Oyster when she was a pop-up. I still need to make it to the restaurant.

I have been here and the food is amazing. She doesn't just sell oysters. She does fish Which is cooked over fire. She has lamb. She has personalized dishes you can only find there. She is a connoisseur of food And she takes this very seriously. Her restaurant and her food is a different all together.Please support her.

What's wild is, the docuseries 'High On the Hog' revealed the history of oysters in this country, and they used to be a more common item that poorer and Blacker people ate and sold, before they became a delicacy. Great docuseries on Netflix sharing the history of food in America.

4:52 Updated to add: In glad that they referenced the history of Oystermen and enjoying the fruits of our labor.

I’ve tried Oysters and didn’t like it. I will try again if I ever come across Urban Oyster. The presentation looks really good.

Wait. Am I too stupid as a black woman, to go buy oysters??? I mean why mention race AT ALL in this story. Im smart enough to know where to go and how to get there. Im not clear on why you add, especially in the black community??
