Rhythm & Roe was founded by Chef Clarisse LaGrone, a San Francisco native whose culinary journey began at family dinner tables where food wasn't just nourishment—it was connection, culture, and love. Those experiences shaped a vision of what luxury dining could be: warm, welcoming, and accessible to all who appreciate quality and authenticity.
When Chef LaGrone discovered the world of premium caviar, she saw an opportunity to bridge communities and make history. Here was a culinary tradition steeped in heritage, yet our communities were rarely represented in this space.
As the West Coast's first Black woman-owned premium caviar company, Rhythm & Roe is pioneering a new chapter in luxury food. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, we're not just honoring tradition—we're expanding it, creating space for new voices and new communities at the finest tables.
Rhythm & Roe honors the ancient art of caviar while infusing it with the warmth and soul that define true hospitality. We carefully source our caviar from pristine waters, ensuring each pearl meets the highest standards of quality and taste. But more than that, we're committed to expanding who gets to participate in these luxury experiences.
We believe that appreciation for fine food transcends boundaries. Whether you're discovering caviar for the first time or you're a seasoned connoisseur, we invite you to taste the difference when tradition meets innovation, when luxury has soul.
Every tin of Rhythm & Roe represents our commitment to creating moments that matter—bringing cultured communities together around exceptional food that honors both heritage and possibility.
Welcome to Rhythm & Roe. Where soulful luxury meets timeless tradition.
