A PRIVATE DINING EXPERIENCE
AT CASA ORNELAS IN COLLABORATION WITH
EQUIANO RUM & CELEBRATED CARIBBEAN-AMERICAN
CHEF JAZZY HARVEY
We came together in community to celebrate the Los Angeles market launch of Equiano Rum, Juneteenth as well as the iconic Olaudah Equiano — African born freedom fighter who paved his way to liberation through selling rum and the inspiration behind Equiano Rum, the World’s 1st African and Caribbean Rum.
Chef Jazzy took inspiration from formerly enslaved Olaudah Equiano’s journey from West Africa, to the Caribbean, to the United States and to his final resting place in United Kingdom. The menu deliciously reflected this journey in a 9-course tasting menu.
