A couple of weeks ago my wife and I were down with something like the 'flu and didn't feel like cooking--so I went to Darker Than Blue to get take-out. The mildly bad news is--don't try to carry it home--you'll just ruin great food (although they packed it as well as they could!) but the good news is that this man knows how to cook!!
i had lunch at darker than blue on wed this week the food was good but it wasn't jerk chicken as the menu states but very good, the waiter was very nice the owner/cook a little cocky for my taste i will try it once more to see if it's some place i would tell my friends and clients to check out. Emergency Service coord @ johns hopkins hosp and the owner of Loc's 4 Life Hair Salon
I just dined at Darker than Blue to celebrate a friend's birthday but the chef/owner was so rude to us that it really put a damper on the evening. The birthday girl had spent all week scouting out locations for her birthday dinner and after meeting with Mr. Jenkins personally and confirming that he could accomodate a party of 16, we were surprised that we were then told that we would be split into 4 different tables. After we asked our waiter to please go check with Mr. Jenkins about it, he came out and basically gave us a scolding and a lesson on the flow and noise level of a restaurant. As someone whose family has been in the restaurant biz for a while, there is nothing better than having your restaurant filled with laughter and good conversation over your food. For a soul food restaurant, that would seem like a no brainer.

I recently had the great pleasure to enjoy a meal at Darker Than Blue Cafe . I took my brother and cousin there for a birthday meal. My brother and I are members of the guest service industry so our standards are very high. We where greeted by a sweet young lady who seemed to be on her second day (just guessing I know experience when I see it) she seated us and promptly took our drink orders. We got our drinks and bread quickly. The cornbread along with the food and sweeten tea. It was all so good. We where even greeted by the Chef Jenkins himself. Which seems to be his standard.
