Black Restaurant Week is happening NOW! Over 90 restaurants are participating through July 31.
This year, the celebration stretches beyond seven days with the slogan “More Than Just a Week.”
“’More Than Just a Week’ speaks to our commitment to support the Black culinary community throughout the entire year,” says Ferrell. In addition to participating in Black Restaurant Week, Ferrell encourages people to hire Black-owned restaurants for catering and private events, invite friends and family to Black-owned food spots, and support Black Restaurant Week’s non-profit,Last year, the organization says it generated a 15 percent sales increase across all participating restaurants in the United States and Canada. In the past two years, Feed the Soul Foundation has provided $52,000 to DC-area restaurants.
“The restaurants are really on their own right now, a lot of the government support is gone,” Ferrell says, referring to pandemic-era support programs like the Restaurant Revitalization Fund. “It’s really our charge to the community to help keep our local businesses open.”
