About Us
Co-hosts Tanorria Askew, of Tanorria’s Table and Candace Boyd, of FoodLoveTog, talk, educate, and advocate for justice, Black Girl Magic, and well-seasoned food. Both leaders of the food scene in Indianapolis, Candace and Tanorria’s cadence over the airwaves is magical. They mesh. They are meant to do this.

Candace and Tanorria don’t wait for opportunities to amplify Black voices. They make them. Grab a biscuit and a chicken wing and tune in every other week for a celebration of sisterhood, food, and Black culture.
TANORRIA ASKEW is a chef, educator, and cookbook author.
An avid home cook turned chef, she launched Tanorria’s Table right before a 2016 appearance as a contestant on MasterChef season 7, where she walked away as the fourth-best home cook in America and a true “master” of shrimp & grits in the eyes of Gordon Ramsay.
Her personal chef services are highly sought after for dinner parties, celebrations, and other private events. As an expert instructor, her work also extends to engaging cooking demonstrations and classes for corporate and social events. She has had the privilege of speaking to audiences as a keynote speaker, emcee, and panelist about her significant career shift, anti-racism and social justice work, and
the courage it takes to chase dreams. She also serves as the DEI Chairperson of the board for a non-profit
called Slow Food Indy.
Her first cookbook, Staples +5: 100 Simple Recipes to Make the Most of Your Pantry, published by Penguin Random House and DK, released in November 2021.

Black Girls Eating wouldn't be where it is today without our sound engineer David.
Davey Asaph, better known as David McKissic, grew up in South Bend, IN raised by his mother and hip hop. His mother worked hard to raise him but Jay-Z, Kirk Franklin, Kanye West, and Lecrae taught him what it meant to be a man.
Davey released "Never In My Wildest" in 2017 and it debuted at number 23 on the iTunes charts. He followed up with "See Me Now" debuting #30. Davey's goal is to make music that gets you through today.
You can follow David on Instagram and be sure to check out his website.
