As per a report by Vogue, the dinner menu also featured delicacies like papaya piri piri salad, cucumbers with Caribbean green seasoning, creole roasted chicken with lemon emulsion, BBQ collard greens with bacon, cornbread with honey curry butter and a dessert named "Bodega Special Cosmic Brownie." Chef Kwame Onwuachi said that he was "inspired by Black dandyism and the Black experience in fashion," and that he wanted the menu to reflect these influences. "As a chef who grew up in the Bronx, being a part of such an iconic New York institution for the most celebrated, star-studded night of the year is like a professional dream come true," he told Delish. Many of the dishes have subtle and sophisticated nods to his New York roots as well as his parents' Nigerian and Jamaican heritage.
