Adrian is featured in the Netflix hit\u00a0<em>High on the Hog: How African American Cuisine Transformed America<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Adrian received an A.B in International Relations from Stanford University in 1991, and a J.D. from the Georgetown University Law Center in 1995. From 1999 to 2001, Adrian served as a special assistant to President Bill Clinton with his Initiative for One America \u2013the first free-standing office in the White House to address issues of racial, religious and ethnic reconciliation. Adrian went on to serve as a senior policy analyst for Colorado Governor Bill Ritter Jr. From 2004 to 2010, he served on the board for the Southern Foodways Alliance. In June 2019, Adrian lectured in the Masters of Gastronomy program at the Universit\u00e0 di Scienze Gastronomiche (nicknamed the \u201cSlow Food University\u201d) in Pollenzo, Italy. He is currently the executive director of the Colorado Council of Churches and, as such, is the first African American, and the first layperson, to hold that position.<\/p>\n<p>Miller\u2019s first book,\u00a0<em>Soul Food: The Surprising Story of an American Cuisine, One Plate at a Time<\/em>\u00a0won the James Beard Foundation Award for Scholarship and Reference in 2014.

Never one to follow a normal path, Ashford became a high school teacher after playing basketball at Lee University. After building a robust teaching and coaching career, Kenyatta\u2019s summer sessions spent helping in a catering kitchen awoke his childhood passion for the tastes of home.<\/p>\n<p>Lead by the memories and the of tastes of his childhood and a constant\u00a0commitment to excellence, Ashford was\u00a0accepted to the\u00a0Culinary Institute of American where he built technical expertise and interests in the\u00a0food ways of his ancestry. After continued study in top tier culinary institutions in\u00a0New York, Rhode Island, and Louisiana, he went on to study scaled preparation techniques in the hospitality industry through the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Like much of the hospitality industry, Kenyatta\u2019s role was furloughed early during the pandemic leaving him with a robust set of skills and a family to help feed. Within weeks, he created the concept for\u00a0<em>Neutral Ground<\/em>\u00a0and set-up shop in Chattanooga\u2019s Proof Incubator. The name Neutral Ground is an homage to the strip of land between neighborhoods in New Orleans that finds its origin in being the trade and gathering area across\u00a0identities. Ashford carries this spirit into all of his work of creating common spaces where people can come together across backgrounds and beliefs.<\/p>\n<p>The menu at Neutral Ground is a product of Ashford\u2019s\u00a0\u201cafro-creole\u201d identity and vision where he\u2019s constantly reflecting on and\u00a0reimagining cuisine that reaches all the way back to his ancestors who were enslaved in West Africa and brought to the Americas and\u00a0journeys through the rich and often over-simplified culinary traditions of his hometown New Orleans. Dishes on the menu range from bean and rice dishes with strong African influences to interpretations of working class staples from New Orleans like po\u2019boys and yakamein.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff\">&#8211;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nicole Brown\u00a0<\/strong>is the Manager of Community Benefits and Diversity at CHI Memorial.
