(MADISON, Wis.) – Local residents looking to expand their culinary palates can eat from nearly 40 restaurants, food carts, caterers and specialty food service providers during the sixth annual Madison Black Restaurant Week, taking place Aug. 8-15.
“Our Black-owned businesses work tirelessly to produce nutritious, satisfying and flavorful food to this community,” Camille Carter, president and CEO of the Madison Black Chamber of Commerce, said. “This year more than ever, we aim to celebrate their resiliency and hope our community members will keep them in mind for future dining, takeout and catering. Also, this year, we are adding more community engagement activities to include pop-up kitchen events and BRW Bingo to win prizes.”
Businesses taking part in Black Restaurant Week span across the greater Madison area, including Monona and Sun Prairie. New participants this year include Granny’s Kitchen and Roche’s Taste of Chicago.
