About Cadence:
We are Overthrow Hospitality’s vegan soul food restaurant, from Executive Chef Shenarri Freeman and Chef de Cuisine Yamil Comrie.
Chef Shenarri Freeman
A James Beard Award Nominee, Chef Shenarri Freeman is a graduate of the Institute of Culinary Education's plant-based Health-Supportive Culinary Arts program. Born and raised in Richmond, Virginia, she fully embraced veganism in 2017 as a means of putting her health first and taking control of her well-being. Today, she is committed to creating plant-based dishes that are fun and indulgent. Since opening in 2021, Chef Shenarri has been named a Forbes 30 Under 30 recipient, been nominated for Two James Beard awards, and has been recognized by Esquire, New York Times, Michelin, Vogue and so many more. Chef Shenarri opened her second restaurant, Ubuntu, in August 2023.
Having joined our team a little over a year ago, Yamil introduced to the menu his first masterpiece, the Fried Green Tomatoes, back in March 2023. Since then, an exquisite repertoire of dishes followed, including the Jambalaya Arancini, the Biscuits & Gravy, the Baby Kale Salad, the Jerk Mac & Cheese, and the Lemonberry Cake.
His journey in the world of gastronomy commenced at the tender age of 13 when he took his first strides at an establishment named Greene Street. After a hiatus to pursue formal culinary education, Yamil returned to the industry in 2011.
