Oak Cliff native Malik Cantu created a special dinner to celebrate Juneteenth at Isla & Co., the Bishop Arts restaurant where he's head chef.
The special menu opens with snapper with mustard beurre blanc, charred okra and tomatoes; second course is chicken ballotine with cornbread stuffing and smoked collard greens; third course will be short rib with peach “BBQ” carrot puree, warm turnip salad, and pickled carrot chips; and as a fourth course you’ll enjoy red velvet cake with whipped cream cheese and red velvet crumble.
Having African-American and Hispanic roots, Cantu has experienced discrimination throughout his life, he said, but it has served as an impetus for him to improve. “I’ve never been worried about people’s opinions ... I mean, you have to work harder, that’s for sure, but I don’t let those things influence me.”“It’s kind of getting away from that stereotypical idea we have with Black food: watermelon and chicken,” Cantu said. “Most of my family loves it too, [but] we’re not just that.”
Cantu’s dream is to have a small chain of Dallas restaurants that reflect his community and make everyone feel welcome.
