Looking to tap back into his fast-casual arm-Onwuachi previously operated Philly Wing Fry and Gorsha, both in Washington D.C.-he teased a sneak preview of his coming patty shack at the Black and brown entrepreneurial conference, CultureCon . Naturally, patties were the first to come to mind when Citi Field approached him to create a fast-casual concept."
Kwame Onwuachi operates multiple restaurants that explore his West African and Caribbean heritage, including Washington D.C.'s Dōgon and projects nodding to Trinidadian roots. Tatiana reflects his connection to New York City, and Patty Palace focuses on the Jamaican patty he loved as a Bronx child. His childhood go-to was a curried chicken patty with coco bread and a Nutrament, purchased at Jackie's West Indian Bakery. Patties inspired a fast-casual direction after prior ventures like Philly Wing Fry and Gorsha. Citi Field and other opportunities led to Chef Kwame's Patty Palace selling a single curried chicken flavor made from scratch.
