For the sixth consecutive year, Black-owned restaurants throughout the greater Los Angeles area will be participating in Black Restaurant Week, which runs August 25 to September 3.
In 2016, Warren Luckett, Falayn Ferell, and Derek Robinson founded the organization Black Restaurant Week in Houston. They partnered with Caribbean, African, and Black American restaurants across the country to offer exclusive specials.
“It was our opportunity to really just showcase the diversity of the culinary creativity from the Black community,” Luckett says.
During Black Restaurant Week, participating restaurants, food trucks, and digital kitchens offer specials and get to keep 100% of their revenue.
