Black Restaurant Week kicks off Friday, September 4, in Atlanta, and more than 50 area restaurants are participating in the annual event, including Lake and Oak Barbecue, APT 4B, Fellaship Cigar Lounge, TasteBuddz ATL, and the Atlanta Food Truck Park. The week also sees the debut of Tekeya Priester and chef Keon Garrett’s new Douglasville restaurant Table25 Fork + Wine, opening Sunday, September 6.
The week-long event features Atlanta restaurants offering special prix fixe brunches and dinners and new dishes hitting menus. Due to the ongoing health crisis, a greater emphasis is being placed on takeout and delivery over dine-in service. This year, the organization partnered with newly launched delivery service Black and Mobile in Atlanta to deliver food from participating restaurants.
Founded by Warren Luckett, Falayn Ferrell, and Derek Robinson in Houston five years ago, Black Restaurant Week has expanded to eight cities since its inception. The annual restaurant event is meant to shine a spotlight on African American, African, and Caribbean foods and foodways from chefs and restaurants across the country.
