It’s black history month, and every great celebration is highlighted by the food. Of course I couldn’t let this month pass by without taking the time out to shine a spotlight on some black owned restaurants in the DFW. Guess what? I want you to get involved! I was inspired by the Black Blogger Clique in Houston. If you aren’t following them be sure to go and do so!
The Game (Prizes for winners)
I’ve created a BINGO style game (pictured above) to help you eat your way through DFW’s Black Owned Restaurants. Be the first to get a full row (vertically, horizontally or diagonally) and you will be eligible for gift cards and free meals from some of the restaurants featured in the game. When you BLACK (BINGO) DM me on Instagram, Facebook or e-mail me at brandisfoodiediary@gmail.com. Of course you must provide proof through pictures or receipts that you patronized these great establishments. I’ve provided some suggestions on what to order in blue, but don’t feel obligated to stick to that suggestion. Explore the menus and try something new. As you play along be sure to tag the restaurants and Brandi’s Foodie Diary in your social media posts.
