The mother-daughter team behind Thamee wants everything it does to raise the profile of “Black and brown makers, farmers, entrepreneurs and others.”
When some of her neighbors addressed the recent Black Lives Matter protests in Washington by hiding their windows behind plywood, Simone Jacobson, the co-owner of Thamee on H Street NE, took a different tack. Boarded-up windows, she says, “send the wrong message: ‘We are afraid.’ ” On the contrary, “We are in support of protest.”
The Black Farm Bag, sourced and curated by Dreaming Out Loud, is a weekly CSA with produce from local black farmers and available though Thamee. In the wake of the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, and the widespread protests that have followed, Thamee is going further.
Thame’s Burma Box includes meals by chef Jocelyn Law-Yone you can make at home in 30 minutes or less: mohinga, right, a traditional catfish lemongrass curry, and tandoori chicken with herbed rice, paratha and more. “She wears a lot of hats,” says fellow restaurateur Ivan Iricanin, the creator of the Balkan-themed Ambar brand and a friend for over a dozen years. “I don’t even know if she sleeps.
Dreaming Out Loud’s Zachari Curtis, left, operations and resource director, and Christopher Bradshaw, founder and executive director. Jacobson attributes any success she has had as an entrepreneur to relationships — “collaboration over competition,” she says. But she says she still has to fight for even a “side seat” at the table. At a May conference call with industry veterans, she was the only female representative, and had to ask to participate.
The weekly rotating meal kits, created by Law-Yone, are like edible postcards from a country whose cuisine draws heavily from nearby China, India and Thailand. Her initial “Burma Boxes” come with two entrees, apportioned for two or four : tandoori chicken with Burmese herbed rice and parathas, and mohinga, the catfish noodle curry considered to be the national dish of Myanmar.
