Welcome back! We're glad to have you dine with us here at The Grown Table, where we aim to serve a healthy helping of food for thought. We have a delicious spread for you in Ep. 3! Join us, the hosts, Jerome & Darnell, two young adults as we sit down from time to time, and attempt to digest and react to current events, contemplate things going on in our lives, and examine the changing world around us.

On the menu is a “twist-and-taste” from our serving of Jon Jones and R. Kelly portions, followed by a well-marinated conversation about the Dave Chappelle Special, and for dessert, we have a slice of media humble pie topped with Brittney’s Freedom, coupled with a deep glass of NFL controversy, compliments of the Chef.

Follow and interact with us through our various social media channels and upcoming live stream events! We hope that you brought an appetite and enjoy your taste of what we’ll be serving.

Welcome to our table.
