Slim's is very excited to announce that we will be hosting a delicious Pop-Up restaurant here each Monday in August! Please join us this evening from 5:30pm - 10pm for an evening with Radio Africa & Kitchen.
Radio Africa & Kitchen was created by Chef Eskender Aseged. Originally from Ethiopia, he has worked in Bay Area restaurants for the past 20 years.
The name Radio Africa & Kitchen came from Eskender’s experience growing up in Ethiopia with very few outlets for popular music and sports. Only one household per neighborhood might have a radio and kids would gather and listen to soccer matches and music, sharing laughter, conversation and snacks — typically freshly roasted barley, garbanzo beans and other whole grain cereals. The music they listened to came from all parts of Africa.
Radio Africa & Kitchen similarly brings people together for stimulating conversation and laughter accompanied by authentic, healthy meals — all while listening to a variety of African music. When you dine with us, we encourage you to sit together at one large table (family style) as you would in your own home. The food is inspired by old world recipes of Mediterranean and Red Sea countries. The goal of Radio Africa is to create extraordinary meals out of organically grown ordinary ingredients.
