Atlanta–a city known for its rich traditions, brave resilience, and of course: good food.

In honor of Black History Month, UberEATS celebrates the city’s diverse culture by highlighting restaurant partner Chef Todd Richards, owner and operator of Richards’ Southern Fried.

Chef Richards has always been passionate about cooking, and after winning several competitions in his early days, he decided he wanted to open up a fine dining restaurant of his own. In July 2016, Chef Richards established his fried chicken shop at Atlanta’s renowned Krog Street Market, a perfect spot for celebrating fried chicken culture and southern hospitality.   

Known all around the Atlanta food community for his culinary experimentation, Chef Richards is especially famous for his original chicken and waffles. On Monday, February 27 to Wednesday, March 1, when you order chicken and waffles from Richards’ Southern Fried, a majority of the proceeds* will go to Wholesome Wave–a non-profit dedicated to providing low income families in Atlanta with access to locally grown produce and fresh, healthy meals.

“American food and southern food are historically rich in African American cookery–the way spices are interpreted, the way that vegetables are grown and seasoned–it has always been a cornerstone of flavor and cultural richness. “

“Chicken and waffles is my favorite dish to make because it speaks to fried chicken culture in a modern way. I stuff my chicken and waffles with collard greens and sweet potato and I just love seeing people’s’ eyes open wide when they taste the combination. I love watching them accept that it is okay to try something different.”

“In my opinion, sharing food with the community is the most recognizable form of hospitality there is. “

Open your UberEATS app on Monday, February 27- Wednesday, March 1, tap the Black History Month banner and place your order to support local charity, Wholesome Wave.

Meals from Chef Richards will be available in: Midtown, Downtown, Decatur and Buckhead.
