FYI Philly | Black History Month Food, Shopping and Fun

MANAYUNK (WPVI) -- We are celebrating Black History Month across the Delaware Valley.

The Tindley Temple has been a landmark in Philadelphia for more than a century.

The menu features classic breakfast and lunch fare including shrimp and grits, fish and grits, chicken and waffles, pancakes, sliders and avocado toast.

The mission behind the menu is to raise money to reopen the soup kitchen which can serve nearly 1,000 people in the fellowship hall next door. They are on track to start serving daily dinners at the soup kitchen in 2025.

Rex at the Royal's new culinary director taps into Southern roots

Chef Angie Brown has been cooking for Philadelphians for more than 3 decades. She specializes in Southern food, mainly Creole.

Last spring, she did what would turn out to be a fateful kitchen collaboration at Rex at the Royal. She thought the space was beautiful. Then she saw the restaurant was looking for a new culinary director. So she applied

Rex at the Royal was built in 1919 as The Royal Theater and was legendary in the Black community for cinema and live performances. Angie says her mom, who is now 97, would go there as a child on Sundays for a children's amateur hour.

The restaurant honors that history, and now Angie Brown is helping to write the next chapter.
