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

[@BlackQueen0109]

Yeeeesssss. Been to 3 of her locations!!! Go Chef Jasmine!!

[@AyeshaTheGreat]

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.

But oysters are an unclean food! 😭😭😭Gr8 job re: the restaurant…and the life lessons of Lev 11 are true. 🙂🕊️

[@marriejames01]

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.

[@guybeingaguy]

Access is not the issue. Texture is!

[@JamesVandevanter]

😊👍🐬🔆B'more.

[@kristawelch3821]

When were they not accessible?

[@olliebob3805]

Tittle is a little odd, I'm black and my family has been eating oysters since the day I was born. They are very cheap and accessible.

[@kristawelch3821]

@olliebob3805 I feel like if anything access is more regional. If you live where the seafood is, you eat it. Meanwhile, I didn't try sushi until my 30s because I lived in the Rocky Mountain West then the Southwest. I was taught that if you can't see the ocean then your seafood may not be good to eat (because too many storage safeguards can fail and food poisoning can occur). I feel like anyone living by the sea, black or white, can get an oyster.

You're about to get exposed for illegally hacking my devices.

[@annettecarlin4800]

S'more.

[@lady2550]

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??

[@lady2550]

Also shes not The first. Someone either didnt research OR is okay with lying yo the public to get her some sympathy sales.

[@TastemyAtrocity]

Idk about “sympathy sales” but believing this woman is the first to chuck the most prolific organism on the coasts of North America is a rather bold claim. And this narrator had better be prepared to back with facts if he is presenting such claims to an audience very familiar with our cultural dish.
