johnnycake

At Kulture, Davis gives a rotating group of young Black chefs a place to iterate on classic dishes like oxtail ragout, fried fish fillets and johnnycakes.

There are also shrimp that have been grilled with their heads and shells on, placed over johnnycakes and splashed with spiced piri-piri sauce.

That evening, those in attendance made quick work of the freshly fried walleye, hot johnnycakes, and a bowl of coleslaw we’d pulled together from pre-shredded cabbage and raisins.

This bright riverside restaurant features a New England-inspired menu that includes a hearty clam chowder, johnnycakes and a lobster roll overflowing with meat.

I would have to carry food—johnnycake, smoked meat, dried fruit, a bottle of water.
