CELEBRATING BLACK BUSINESS MONTH

August is Black Business Month. During this month (and pretty much every other month), Metro Louisville transforms into a culinary love letter to Black-owned restaurants—think mouthwatering BBQ at Four Pegs, Afro‑Caribbean flavors at Eden & Kissi, or elevated soul‑food classics at Dasha Barbour. These spots aren’t just feeding the city—they’re serving pride, community, and big bold flavor all month long and beyond. Support local and let your taste buds celebrate too.
