Our Original Founder & CoFOUNDER in 2017

Deah berry mitchell.

I'm a fulltime Black culture historian and  writer residing in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas. 

A double graduate of Southern Methodist University, I enjoy traveling and immersing myself into other cultures. Currently pursuing my Ph.D. in history at the University of North Texas. 

While vacationing in 2017, I had the idea to produce a bus tour that would combine my two passions: cuisine and local cultural history. 

When I got back, I suggested to my friend and public relations manager, Dalila Thomas, that we partner together to produce this new concept. 

In February 2018 we officially launched!

I relaunched the new and improved tours in April 2022 after pandemic restrictions were eased under my newly formed "umbrella" company - Nostalgia Black. Tourism is one of the services offered to amplify Black history and increase knowledge of cultural heritage and traditions. Currently pursuing my PhD in History, I am passionate about expanding our knowledge of local Black history.

I'm planning to expand into other test markets soon.

Cultural historian Deah Berry Mitchell launched the tours in 2018. And, she'll offer something new in 2024. She'll debut a cowboy history tour sponsored in part by Visit Fort Worth .

"I'm a fifth generation Texan; very proud Texan. And, I really wanted to put my stamp on something different. I really love doing special edition tours. And so this is my tribute to Black cowboy history," she said. "So in this way, I'll be able to not only educate people about cowboy history and about those who have been left out of the conversation somewhat but we'll also be able to visit people who can explain more than I can because they have lived experiences and history."

Tickets are still available for the Food and Black History Tour in Dallas on Saturday, Feb. 3 and the Soul of DFW Cowboy History Tour on Sat., Feb. 10 . Other tours are scheduled throughout the year. Get information here .

By Raven Jordan

Bus tours are nothing new, but tours focused on both Black history and food are a recent development on the scene.

Food historian Deah Berry-Mitchell started the Soul of DFW bus tours in 2018 and has been taking locals to Black-owned restaurants, historically Black landmarks and other sites to shed a light on history and small business owners’ stories.

Visitors on the tour aren’t just from Dallas, with some coming from Waxahachie and Corsicana for the experience. In 2020, the tours expanded to Fort Worth .

“We visit Black-owned restaurants for food samples and I talk about the foods on some occasions,” Mitchell says. “Then we get a chance to speak with the owners about their restaurants, their favorite dishes, any challenges that they’ve had and what they see for the future. Pretty much like a little short Q&A with them.”

Unlike some bus tours that include itineraries for where passengers can expect to visit over the course of five hours, Mitchell doesn’t reveal the stops until they’re on the bus. 

She does this so there are no predetermined assumptions made or reluctance from those who have already tried a certain place in the past. 

“I never release the places that I’m going ahead of time. It’s the element of surprise,” she says.

On one of the latest tours, which was April 22, I had the chance to see just what one of the tours was like as the group made stops at four historical spots and small businesses. Each Dallas tour always kicks off at the African American Museum as a meeting and boarding point.

The first stop on this particular tour was the historic Forest Theater, which was once owned by Erykah Badu and is currently under renovation for the nonprofit Forest Forward. 

Next was the Grow DeSoto Marketplace , where the group sampled food from 2Neighbors Burgers and Shakes and learned about how owner Winfred Dalcour and his family came to own it.

Dalcour shared how the establishment was a soul food restaurant before splitting into hot chicken and burger spots.

“My family and I came in the marketplace, and we came to an old church member who had 2Neighbors Soul Food Cafe before,” he says. “What she did was she split it. When she broke it in half, half was the hot chicken, and half was the burger side. She was operating the burger side. We began to talk and she said that she wanted to retire, she wanted to give it up. I’m saying I’m a math teacher, talk to me. How much do you want? She took the keys, put it in my hands and said, “It’s yours.’”

Other stops on the tour included Smith Spot BBQ in Garland and the Juanita J. Craft House (which is opening as a museum later this month). On the journey to each, Mitchell shared history about the food, Freedman Towns in Dallas and the significance of Anderson Bonner Park in North Dallas. The next Soul of DFW Tour, called the Emancipation Tour, will take place June 10.

Soul of DFW Tours

With a 2019 book about the roots of American food and a tour company that marries cuisine and history, Deah Berry Mitchell continues to teach and eat during the pandemic.

Deah Berry Mitchell launched Soul of DFW Tours in 2018 because she believed that a spoonful of history goes down better on a full stomach. The concept is simple: Hop on a bus, stop at a historical site, get back on the bus, and go to one of the area’s beloved restaurants. Repeat a few times, making new friends as you get fuller and smarter.

“I wanted to take what I love –– food and history –– and use it as a tool to educate my community about the Black experience,” Mitchell said. Soul of DFW is “a celebration of culture, not just eating.”

Mitchell created the touring company and later partnered with writer/publicist Dalila Thomas as she expanded from Dallas into Fort Worth in January 2020. The tours take history buffs and local food lovers alike to Fort Worth’s Black-owned restaurants and historical sites of significance, including the Antioch Missionary Baptist Church and Oakwood Cemetery.

“I understand that sometimes the subject matter is heavy,” Mitchell said. “It’s never all history or all food. We purposely break up the tour to keep the mood balanced.”

Mitchell and Thomas had just hit their stride in terms of touring in Fort Worth when COVID shut down any event involving enclosed spaces. Mitchell said she hopes to ramp back up again in the spring.

A native of Sherman, Mitchell is a 2019 transplant to Fort Worth. She dived into the history of her new hometown with gusto, starting with Opal Lee, the woman acknowledged by many as the city’s de facto Black historian. Mitchell also credits Sarah Walker from the Lenora Rolla Heritage Center Museum for providing perspective. The museum is named for the woman who founded the Tarrant County Black Historical and Genealogical Society, and it’s a gold mine if you’re looking for the history of Fort Worth’s Black citizens.

As for the food in the Fort, Mitchell didn’t have a problem picking favorites. She likes Carpenter’s Cafe and cites perennial favorite Drew’s Place Soul Food for their fried chicken. She also calls them unique “because they have an app.”

There are, she said, “a ton of great restaurants I’m looking forward to trying.”

Mitchell and Thomas mix stops at some of our best restaurants (Mama E’s, Smoke-A-Holics) with visits to the history in our backyards that many of us don’t know. For instance, you’ve probably passed the McDonald YMCA dozens of times, but did you know it’s named for the first Black man to own a hotel in Fort Worth? William “Gooseneck” McDonald was born to enslaved parents, and he amassed a fortune as an educator, banker, politician, and entrepreneur.

“We stop on the tour [at the McDonald Y] because they have a tribute wall to him,” Mitchell said. “Physically, you can see the trajectory of his life.”

Mitchell merged her love of Southern culinary tradition and history in Cornbread & Collard Greens: How West African Cuisine and Slavery Influenced Soul Food . Her 2019 book details how the slave trade that originated in West Africa influenced cooking styles in the American South and all over. She describes the book as “a beginner’s guide to the culinary history of soul food.” But it’s not all history.

“One-third [of the book] is me telling my stories and how I’m connected to a food item,” she said.

If you’re a food writer, or you just love food, Mitchell is a hoot to spend a few hours with. We got into a discussion about yam casserole for Thanksgiving, and I will never look at the dish I make with “yams” and marshmallows the same way again.

“Not many people know that yams and sweet potatoes are drastically different,” she said. Apparently, what I’ve been calling yams are not yams, despite the label at Whole Foods.

“Yams are from a specific region in Africa, and they were eaten mashed,” Mitchell said. “Due to slave trade, Africans used the food of the American South, and where sweet potatoes were commonly grown, people found they had a similar texture to yams.”

But Mitchell promises that she doesn’t correct her relatives when they bring the candied yams to the holiday dinner, even though those are really sweet potatoes.

That’s what makes Mitchell so engaging: She’s smart and funny, but she knows when to put the brakes on the history lesson. In addition to the traditional area soul food favorites, Mitchell’s list includes a couple of vegan restaurants. This shouldn’t surprise anyone, because much of the cuisine in both Africa and the American South for enslaved people was vegetable-heavy. She likes It’s So Vegan in southwest Grand Prairie because of the variety of food.

“If you want nachos or something that feels more like a Southern dinner, [the owner] has different vegan meals that allow you to feel like you’re hitting those cravings,” she said.

Mitchell also likes Rebirth of Food –– the vegan restaurant and meal-planning service –– off Oakland Boulevard.

Cornbread & Collard Greens: How West African Cuisine and Slavery Influenced Soul Food  is available at Amazon, Target, and now in the gift shop of the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum, which was a bit of news that brightened Mitchell’s 2020. Look for the Soul of DFW bus tours to ramp back up in 2021.
