The Food Sermon

Design a feast through a build-your-own-bowl concept at The Food Sermon, a counter-service Caribbean restaurant in Crown Heights. Four bountiful protein offerings—jerk halal chicken (a must), tender braised oxtail, panko-crusted salmon and pan-seared tofu with vegetables—are matched with either white or brown rice, well-seasoned red beans or curry chickpeas and sauces of spicy tomato or silky coconut-ginger. Chef Rawlston Willliams is originally from St. Vincent and the Grenadines and a Seventh-day Adventist, so the restaurant is closed from sundown Friday to Sunday afternoon.
