Kwame Onwuachi is getting the Hollywood treatment. The D.C.-based chef’s three-month-old memoir Notes From a Young Black Chef is being adapted into a film. Atlanta star Lakeith Stanfield is attached to star as Onwuachi, Variety reports.

No director or release date has been announced for the film.

The casting pairs two quickly rising stars. Just two months ago, Onwuachi took home the James Beard Award for rising star chef (making him the first D.C.-based chef to win that prize) and his memoir—co-written by food writer Joshua David Stein—received critical acclaim when it was released earlier this year. Also acclaimed: His year-and-a-half-old restaurant on The Wharf, Kith and Kin, which earned him a win at the RAMMY Awards earlier this month.

Stanfield, meanwhile, has been quietly earning praise since 2013, when he appeared in the drama Short Term 12. His fame has risen over the past two years, having appeared in Get Out, Something Great, Sorry to Bother You, and as one of the co-stars of Donald Glover’s FX series Atlanta. 

The movie will likely cover a lot of D.C. people and places: After all, the memoir details the swift rise and fall of Onwuachi’s first restaurant, The Shaw Bijou, which closed amid strong backlash to its high prices after less than three months in business.

Notes From a Young Black Chef also explores Onwuachi’s childhood in New York, his efforts to fund his burgeoning catering company, and his time at lauded New York restaurant Per Se, where he says he experienced racist abuse in the kitchen.

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves here, but it’s not unlikely that the film could generate Oscar buzz. The film’s production company, A24, has an impressive awards-season track record, having produced Academy Award contenders Moonlight (a Best Picture winner), Room, Lady Bird, and The Florida Project.
