Black Restaurant Week kicks off in the San Francisco Bay Area on Friday, and minority-owned business leaders are hoping for an uptick in customers as they highlight their array of rich cuisine.
This is the fourth year of the campaign, which ends on May 26. Founded in 2016 by Warren Luckett, based in Atlanta, and managed by partners Falayn Ferrell and Derek Robinson, based in Houston, Black Restaurant Week LLC is responsible for celebrating the flavors of African American, African and Caribbean cuisine with a series of regional cultural weeks per market.
