Sweet Home Café at the National Museum of African American History and Culture

The Sweet Home Café opened with the National Museum of African American History and Culture in 2016 and was created to showcase the history and diversity of African American cuisine. The café's menu features dishes inspired by distinct regional African American foodways and recipes highlighted by the museum's curators, and the café is used as an interpretive element of the museum's exhibitions on food culture. It represents a recent institutional effort in Washington to present food history within a museum context.
