This week, August 21-27, marks the third annual Support Black-Owned Restaurants Week, which encourages people to support black restaurant owners and local business.
First started in 2014 by Bertha Pearl after she was inspired by the Bay Area's Black Restaurant Day, the annual event has now grown to a full week of celebration. This year's Support Black-Owned Restaurants Week kicks off today, and in honor of the eclipse, many restaurants will be offering deals. The week will end with a party at chef/owner William Travis' Dub's St. Johns on Sunday, August 27 from 6-10. Travis has been a major part of the effort to expand this year's iteration.
There are similar events in Seattle and New York City.
Here is the full list of restaurants listed by Support Black-Owned Restaurants at iloveblackfood.com.

We’ll be eating at a white owned restaurant and a Mexican immigrant owned restaurant. Both are excellent places to eat. I actually don’t know of any black-owned restaurants in my area.
Denny’s took over the Sambo restaurants.
Serve good food with good service at a fair price!
You’ll get all the business “support” you need.
All those Birkenstock, hemp vest wearing, tattooed, gauge eared Prius driving, white guilt idiots walking into a black restaurant won’t be too obvious.
These fools wouldn’t know what to do in a soul food restaurant. They won’t find any cous cous, bean sprouts or organic anything. So they’ll try and “get down with the black folk”?!
What happens after “black owned restaurant week”? Back to Whole Foods I guess.
Or like the fresh produce for a High End Mexican food restaurant bragging about their small and green farmers.
I have a simple rule, I don’t partake of food or drink that is prepared or handled by people who hate me. God knows what might be in the food.
Having worked as a waiter for a year in college I am also very polite to anyone serving me - never, ever piss off people who handle your food. I never messed with people’s food but I saw things, horrible things and it was at a 5 star restaraunt. Once my kids asked me why I am so polite when ordering in a drive-through and I gave them this advice.
I will go out of my way not to go to tlany establishment that promotes itself based on race.
I has a Belt for support
Can’t they compete just based on serving good food?
Why do they always want special privileges, to be “equal”?
Kfc
Cue that’s racist meme.
Thanks.
Here is where crackers should avoid having their food spit on.
You will still be expect to pay a 15-20% tip for your added on meal.
Which one has the best Jenkem?
Eating while white.
I’d like four fried chickens and a coke with some dry white toast since it’s just me.
Hank Aaron owns our local Krisp Kreme. Does that count?
Wanna bet that if a Whitey eats there the cook spits in the food, just like jesse jackson did.
