Imani's Original Bean Pies & Fine Foods

Big thanks to

Afrika Porter

for all your support! Congrats for being top fans on a streak 🔥!

I am truly honored and grateful to know that the beautiful article written by Ahmed Ali in the Chicago Tribune about bean pies has been nominated for a James Beard Award!

Bean pies are more than dessert — they are history, culture, community, and love passed down through generations. To see this story and tradition recognized on such a prestigious level means so much.

Thank you to Ahmed Ali for shining a light on the rich legacy of bean pies and the people who continue to keep this tradition alive. Congratulations on this well-deserved nomination!

This moment is inspiring for small businesses, Black food traditions, and our entire community here in Chicago and beyond.
