From West Africa, to the Caribbean, to the Americas, different cultures and religions take time in the autumn to ponder death and honor those who have passed away. This year at the Beard House we’ve tapped a global group of chefs to help us celebrate Fête Ghede, one of the most significant celebrations in the Voodoo religion.
