CHICAGO - Chicago Black Restaurant Week returns Feb. 8-22, marking its 11th year celebrating the city’s Black-owned dining scene and the entrepreneurs behind it.
What we know:
The annual event is held during the second week of February in honor of historian Dr. Carter G. Woodson, who founded Negro History Week in 1926 to recognize the achievements of the Black community.
Chicago Black Restaurant Week launched in 2016 as a way to carry on Woodson’s legacy.
This year’s lineup includes restaurants, bakeries, cafés and specialty food businesses from Chicago and surrounding suburbs, offering everything from Southern comfort food and Caribbean cuisine to fine dining and vegan options.
