Menu drop! Melanin Martha gets rational at the next Monday Night Foodball

Soul food favorites and new cravings. . . [READER]( [Food & Drink]( Since we left her last June, Jordan Wimby has taken a rational approach to pop-ups. “The amount of food enslaved people were given by owners was referred to as rations,” says Wimby, aka [The Melanin Martha](. “Corn or fatback or any of the things that the people in the house didn’t wanna eat. These small portions sustained the lives of Black folks on the plantation. But I’ve kind of reclaimed this term. I’m giving you something that sustains our culture. I’m giving you rations.” The rations will be rich and abundant this September 12 when the Melanin Martha[returns]( to [Monday Night Foodball]( the Reader’s ongoing guest chef pop-up at the Kedzie Inn in Irving Park.
