For the 2nd year in a row Jamila Briscoe, a local food blogger who’s Dayton Food Diaries focuses on cuisine from all over the Miami Valley, has organized Black Restaurant Week. She says she has a “passion of highlighting Black-owned food-based businesses, whether brick and mortar, food trucks, caterers and chefs, etc. to display the diversity of offerings available throughout the city.” She shares that “the event last year was a hit! Many participants noted they were able to reach new customers, while on the other side, individuals throughout the Miami Valley were exposed to a variety of new businesses, while taking advantage of great deals!”
This year DBRW is expanding and will be hosting an in-person Food Fest featuring our mobile participants on October 16th, at Genuine Work (15 McDonough St, Dayton, OH) from 2-6pm, to close out the Week.
