The Food Sermon

About

Modern counter-service nook specializing in build your own rice bowls with Caribbean flavors.

Story

West Indian-inspired cuisine by way of Brooklyn, The Food Sermon is a family-owned fast-casual eatery putting modern, dynamic spins on traditional fare. Known for blending forward-thinking flavor combinations with bold, beautiful presentations, “what elevates the Food Sermon,” writes The New York Times, “is the extraordinary brightness of the flavors.”

The Food Sermon infuses those colorful flavors into each of the restaurant’s signature Island Bowls, the centerpiece of the palate-pleasing menu. Every customer designs their own meal, choosing from braised lamb, chicken, fish, or a vegetarian option, each one steeped in your choice of savory sauces like coconut-ginger or spicy-tomato, then lathered on a base such as rice with red beans or chickpeas.

Originally from the Caribbean island nation of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Chef Rawlston Williams draws vibrant flavors and cooking techniques from an array of cultures. He launched The Food Sermon as a catering venture before expanding to a pint-sized corner restaurant in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, earning an extremely loyal fan base and expanding from there.
