(London Independent) Chef Tunde Wey is serving up authentic Nigerian food alongside a healthy serving of reality at the Roux Carre market in New Orleans - where he has been carrying out a social experiment.
For diners looking for a quick lunchtime meal at Saartj, set up in an outdoor food hall, lunch comes only after they acknowledge the racial wealth disparity in New Orleans - where the median income among African American households in New Orleans is just $25,806, compared to $64,377 for white households.
Wey informs his customers of the facts in a speech that takes several minutes - then he tells them the price of their lunch.
