Memphis Black Restaurant Week is back, and you are going to want to make plans to dine out.
The ninth annual Memphis Black Restaurant Week kicks off March 17. The dining week that features some of the top Black-owned eateries in Memphis runs through March 23.
Thirty-two restaurants are participating this year, with a lineup that is eclectic and diverse in menu offerings and parts of town. The common denominator is that they are all minority-owned establishments.
Entrepreneur Cynthia Daniels founded Memphis Black Restaurant Week to “bring awareness around the hidden treasures in the Memphis community.”
“Being that Memphis is a foodie city and celebrates so many different cultures, I wanted to create a weeklong celebration of our amazing Black-owned restaurants,” Daniels said. “To see how this event has grown every year is truly inspiring, and it brings the community together. It shows everyone the importance of being intentional where you spend your money and the impact it has, not just for the week but for the entire year.”
