On a recent weekday, Sheldon Carson Jr. is doing everything himself in the kitchen of his new East Side restaurant, Black Wall Street — cooking, dishing up orders, working the register, even shutting down for a few minutes to make a nearby delivery.
It’s his second attempt at a restaurant in the spot, and he is already building a following. He’s determined to make it a success, not only for himself but for his immediate family.
“People love the Phillies — three different cheeses and my own sauce — the wings,” he said.
The name of the restaurant is a reference to the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. Its thriving business district, dubbed Black Wall Street, was looted and burned.
