The story behind the meal

From coast to coast and across cultures

Keith Manley’s journey from North Carolina to Los Angeles embodies a spirit of constant exploration and personal growth. Since featuring on the reality TV show “Married at First Sight,” Keith has become known for being a Southern gentleman that is dedicated to building community and passionate about mentoring youth. His book, Life is Just… A Walk Within, reflects his commitment to new adventures and self-evolution. Despite the many changes on his path, one constant has been his deep love for food, particularly Asian cuisine. 

Upon his release, Corbin was determined to forge a new path. He began working in kitchens, where his raw talent and deep understanding of flavor quickly became evident. His breakthrough came when he joined the team at LocoL, a revolutionary fast-food concept spearheaded by chefs Roy Choi and Daniel Patterson, designed to bring affordable, high-quality food to low-income communities.

This opportunity set the stage for Corbin’s next venture—partnering with Patterson to open Alta Adams, a "California Soul" food restaurant focused on using local produce and healthier ingredients to reimagine the dishes he grew up making with his grandmother. Alta Adams earned widespread acclaim, withEsquire,Thrillist, and theLos Angeles Timesnaming it among the best restaurants in the country, andThe Hollywood Reportercalling it "Black Hollywood's top restaurant.

Inspired by The Great Migration of African Americans from the South to the West, Corbin infuses traditional family recipes with fresh ingredients local to California.

Beyond the food, Corbin is passionate about creating opportunities for those who have been overlooked by society. He actively hires and mentors formerly incarcerated individuals, understanding firsthand the difficulties of reintegration and the need for second chances.

Through his leadership, Alta Adams has become more than just a restaurant—it’s a space of empowerment, providing career pathways and a sense of belonging for those looking to turn their lives around.

Corbin’s approach to food is deeply personal. His dishes are vibrant, fresh, and balanced, paying homage to the flavors of his grandmother’s kitchen while reflecting his own evolution as a chef.

At Alta Adams, Corbin’s menu reinterprets classics, offering dishes like braised oxtails with heirloom beans, black-eyed pea fritters, and his signature cornbread with honey butter. Each plate tells a story, bridging the past with the present, honoring heritage while embracing the possibilities of the future.
