Food brings people together, but can it help heal today's racial divide? At The Grey in Savannah, Georgia, a rising star black woman chef and a food-obsessed white businessman are equal partners who're breaking barriers--one plate at a time.Black, White, and The Grey is a story about the mission, trials, and triumphs of two individuals with little in common except an obsession with great food and the determination to play a part in bridging the deep cultural divide in America during a time of profound national division, activated racism, and raging classism.Reflective of their open and unflinching dialogue, media startup defector John O. Morisano and chef/partner Mashama Bailey tell the story, in stereo, of how they turned a dilapidated, Jim Crow-era Greyhound bus station into one of the hottest restaurants in the country, capturing the rawness, vulnerability, and humanity that make their partnership so inspiring.Anyone who is fascinated by chef and restaurant culture will enjoy the behind-the-scenes details of building and running a destination restaurant--in this case, one with profound historical significance in Georgia's colonial capital--and home cooks will savor the 30 related recipes that pepper the narrative.
