This movement was started by Langston Hughes III, a Charleston based Hip Hop outfit who refers to their music as Adult Contemporary Head Nod Music. \u201cThe theme of this Merlot Moment aligns with the upcoming Charlest<span class=\"text_exposed_show\">on Wine and Food Festival,\u201d states Chawle Dawk the Superstar, member of Langston. \u201cWe are calling it The Soul Food Kitchen Convention and we will be celebrating 3 of Charleston\u2019s legendary soul food restaurants; Bertha\u2019s Kitchen, Dave\u2019s Seafood and Hannibal\u2019s Kitchen. All 3 establishments have been around over 30 years and their impact has extended far beyond the reach of the neighborhoods they are nestled in.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gmbhp75GfY8?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Soul Food Kitchen Convention will be a head nod to these restaurants as well as the Merlot Moments foundations of wine art and hip hop. Langston will be premiering a mini documentary they filmed and produced dedicated to these restaurants. There will be art showings from local and international artists Elva Lovoz (DC), Whitney Warden (ATL), Alexandria Searles (NY), Javet Blunt (SC) and Martin Askem (UK). There will also be a wine tasting with local winery Deepwater Vineyard. To keep in sync with the soul food theme, Chef JA, owner of Lillie Ollie, will be on hand serving his twist on traditional soul food he calls \u201cSoulful Food Elevated\u201d which promises to elevate the home cooked love and experience of your grandmother\u2019s kitchen. To round the evening off there will be sounds from The Selektahs as well as a live music performance from singer Kalaani and The Nndigo Sol Band. Langston Hughes III will also be serving up their brand of Adult Contemporary Head Nod Music.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>RSVP on FB:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/2012902752285499\" target=\"_blank\">facebook.com\/events\/2012902752285499<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week&#8217;s #FoodJusticeFriday spotlight is on a unique event happening this SATURDAY eclebrating 3 historic local eateries&#8230; Merlot Moments presents The Soul<\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a class=\"myButt \" href=\"https:\/\/growpurpose.com\/charlestongood\/saturday-the-soul-food-kitchen-convention-video\/\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1600,"featured_media":9252,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,39,37,22,18,7],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/growpurpose.com\/charlestongood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9250"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/growpurpose.com\/charlestongood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/growpurpose.com\/charlestongood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/growpurpose.com\/charlestongood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1600"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/growpurpose.com\/charlestongood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9250"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/growpurpose.com\/charlestongood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9250\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9254,"href":"https:\/\/growpurpose.com\/charlestongood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9250\/revisions\/9254"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/growpurpose.com\/charlestongood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9252"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/growpurpose.com\/charlestongood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9250"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/growpurpose.com\/charlestongood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9250"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/growpurpose.com\/charlestongood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9250"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
