Trick Daddy, a platinum-selling Miami-raised rapper known for hits like Let's Go, Shut Up and Take it to da House, opened a Fort Lauderdale Sunday's Eatery at 2010 NW Sixth St., specializing in Southern and Caribbean cuisine. The location, a block east of I-95, follows a flagship in Miami Gardens opened in late 2019 with business partner Latosia Colvin of The Licking chain. The Sunday's name evokes soulful Sunday dinners from his childhood. Trick Daddy maintains a daily presence, moonlights as a line cook, helps manage large crowds during rushes, and poses for photos with diners.
The Miami-raised artist's new restaurant at 2010 NW Sixth St., specializing in Southern and Caribbean cuisine, is set to throw its grand opening on Saturday, Aug. 30, a block east of the Interstate 95 highway underpass. It will be the second location, joining a flagship Sunday's Eatery he opened in Miami Gardens in late 2019 with business partner Latosia Colvin, whose popular soul-food chain The Licking has nine locations from South Miami to Orlando.
In a South Florida Sun Sentinel interview this week, Trick Daddy describes being a daily presence at Sunday's, a name that's inspired by the soulful Sunday dinners cooked throughout his childhood. He wants patrons to associate Sunday's brand with his constant visits to the dining room, where he rubs elbows with fans, and to the kitchen, where he moonlights as a line cook.
Sometimes the restaurant gets overwhelmed with 150 people in line, so I'm up in the back going, 'Pull T-bones and grilled pork chops!' Or I'll go, 'Drop two buckets of wings now and pull four mac-and-cheese! We got to get rolling, baby!' And when that's done, I pop in the dining room and take pictures with the people so they put it in their archives and appreciate me being there with them.
