Event Details For our 20th anniversary, Charleston Wine + Food is proud to co-present alongside the International African American Museum, a one-of-a-kind culinary experience: Dine on a Mat. Dine on a Mat is the acclaimed nomadic restaurant founded by Chef Fatmata Binta, a modern nomadic chef and Fulani culinary ambassador from Freetown, Sierra Leone. Chef Binta is celebrated globally for her work in promoting indigenous African ingredients and sustainable food systems. She will be collaborating with Charleston's own Chef Bintou N'Daw, also a nomadic chef and owner of the restaurant Bintü Atelier, where she draws on both traditional methods and French technique to prepare classic West African recipes. Guests will share communal mats and multi-course dishes inspired by indigenous African ingredients, paired with traditional drinks, a tea ceremony, and powerful storytelling that tells the untold stories of the richness of African food systems. This immersive experience is a true cultural exchange, honoring the city's deep historical ties to the African Diaspora and celebrating heritage, innovation, and connection. This one-night-only evening is a significant collaboration between IAAM and CHSWF and will celebrate heritage, innovation, and connection, acting as a profound bridge between the African Diaspora and generations.
