The event will put a “focus on highlighting Atlanta’s Black restaurants and chefs, especially with an emphasis on reviving and saving the Black restaurant industry during the COVID-19 pandemic, as it educates consumers on the abundance of cultural cuisines and dispels ethnic untruths,” the event promoters said in a news release.
This year, Black Restaurant Week waived the financial participation fee for all restaurants. In addition to special menus, Black Restaurant Week is offering participants the chance to win gift cards and other prizes with Black Restaurant Week Bingo.
