Senegalese Food in Clinton Hill

The story on African fare in today's Daily News profiles Pierre Thiam, the Senegalese-born chef of Le Grand Dakar in Clinton Hill. When he's not working at the restaurant, he teaches culinary students about American dishes with African roots at the Institute of Culinary Education in Manhattan, and he is presently at work on a cookbook called Savoring Senegal. Somehow, he found time to co-host last weekend's Nowhere But Brooklyn Block Party, where he served pan-African street food. (By the way, we found some more great photos of that event. Check them out after the jump.)

Earlier this month, a couple of street fighters did their thing at the Chili Crab fest, but compareed to the Nowhere But Brooklyn Block Party, these guys were pretty weak sauce:

My fiance and I have eaten there...yum, yum, yummy! We actually only discovered it this summer, and were shocked that we never knew it was here. Their food is just so well prepared - it seems like the chef oversees each dish. I don't like scallops, and my fiance ordered some as an appetizer and he convinced me to try them...OMG, they were absolutely scrumptious, light, nicely seasoned, melt in your mouth. I get the peanut chicken and tomato rice. Always good - and they're so friendly. They have live music at least once a week. Highly recommended.
