The Texas Restaurant Association list some of the best black restaurants you should try this month. We think you should check them out all year round!
From Soulfood, burgers, barbeque, seafood and more, the importance of diverity and local support for these mom and pop restaurants is what we need. The TRA Black History Month Must-Taste List highlights some of the best black owned restaurants that you should try or put on your bucket list when visiting Texas.
“Black History Month invites important conversations and intention on the topics of diversity and inclusion, but these restaurants are gems that should be on every food lover’s radar all year long––not just during February,” said Dr. Emily Williams Knight, Ed.D., President and CEO of the TRA. “And of course this list isn’t exhaustive; we will add to it as there are far too many incredible eateries to include in a single compilation. We hope these highlights encourage folks to try a new restaurant and to return to an old favorite. We’re so proud of the fact that here in the Texas restaurant industry, our diversity is our strength.”
– Dr. Emily Willimad Knight, Ed.D., President and CEO of the TRA
