Kintomi was born out of a heartfelt desire to redefine dining experiences, particularly for black and brown communities. It originated from a collective longing to create a space where storytelling through food could flourish, where the kitchen became a stage for cultural expression and connection. The driving force behind this initiative was to dismantle the barriers often associated with fine dining, replacing pretentiousness with warmth and inclusivity. By curating intimate gatherings and elevating comfort foods rooted in familial customs and traditions, Kintomi aims to foster a sense of belonging and familiarity. Through each carefully crafted dish, chefs aim to share not only flavors but also personal narratives, inviting guests to partake in a culinary journey that transcends mere sustenance. This initiative seeks to shed light on the often-overlooked talents within black and brown culinary communities, providing a platform for creators to showcase their craft and heritage. Ultimately, Kintomi aspires to create more than just a dining experience—it endeavors to create a sense of home, a space where individuals can gather, connect, and celebrate their shared stories and identities.
