Volume One

Where the ember was first lit.

Fabrik DUMBO · 20 Jay St, Suite 218, Brooklyn, NY 112016:30 PM – 8:30 PMApril 10, 2026

The night that started it all: three Featured Makers, dishes from the Caribbean to the American South, and a room full of people connecting over food and the stories behind it.

Highlights

• Three featured makers: Reggae Town Cafe, Pikliz Please, SoulTye Catering
• Family-style curry goat, pikliz, and soul food classics
• The first Ember Trail raffle

These makers showed up and brought their best. The easiest way to say thank you is to leave them a quick review. Review every Featured Maker and you’ll be entered for a chance to win a bottle of Island Ember Sorrel.

Reggae Town Cafe

Traditional Curry Goat with Rice and Peas

Debbie's love for cooking began at age eight beside her mother. The name Reggae Town Cafe brings together her love of reggae music and the Jamaica of her upbringing — for her, cooking is how she expresses her art and honors her culture.

Pikliz Please

Pikliz

Pikliz is a Haitian kitchen staple used to cut through richer dishes and bring balance to the plate. Pikliz Please layers purple cabbage, red onion, shallot, bright lime, and a proprietary spice blend for a vibrant kick that elevates any meal.

SoulTye Catering

Baked Mac & Cheese and Honey Cornbread

Soul food classics served family-style at the very first Island Ember table — comfort that helped light the ember.
