Enjoy a Taste of Soul at The Landing April 24

Posted: April 15, 2024

The Landing Market, Decorah, will host a “A Taste of Soul” dinner on Wed., April 24, 5-7 p.m.

The special meal will feature braised oxtails, rice & peas, cabbage, mac & cheese, and a rum punch cocktail or mocktail.

Robert Clay, Luther College Chief Equity and Inclusion Officer and Assistant to the President for Community Engagement, is preparing the meal.

Clay, who is originally from Chicago, first learned to cook “because he was hungry and likes to eat.” Primarily self-taught, he has polished his technique serving large family gatherings and taking culinary classes along the way.

“Robert’s reputation for the dishes he prepares preceded him, and we are thrilled he is going to share it with Decorah,” says Landing manager Terry Ramlo.

The cost for the meal is $25 per person. Capacity is limited. Reservations are required and can be made by emailing info@thelandingmarket.com.

This event is one of the Landing’s Passport Dinner, introduced in 2023, to bring the cuisine of other countries and cultures to the Decorah area and provide an opportunity to get to know about other places and meet new people.

The Landing Market is located at 211 College Dr., Decorah. It houses food and beverage-oriented establishments, which include Justin’s, The Buzz, and Root 43 as well as space for events. For more information, email info@thelandingmarket.com, or call (563) 277-1893.
