The event helps market restaurant owners and the community - also guiding people to something they haven't tried before.

"The initiative has grown into a national movement that now spans 17 regions across the country, including Las Vegas, Toronto, Atlanta, LA, NYC, D.C., and more, and has generated a million-dollar impact on Black-owned businesses in the culinary industry," the organization said.

Ferrell says Houston's diversity makes the event even more special.

Black restaurants in the area offer opportunities to try Caribbean, African, Cajun, Southern food, and more. She also said the impact has allowed Black business owners to thrive.
