Every year the Shreveport-Bossier African American Chamber of Commerce puts together the Shreveport-Bossier Restaurant Week to celebrate the culinary talents of Black-owned restaurants in the area.

The goal of this week is to stimulate the economic impact in the local restaurant industry for Black-owned businesses and raise awareness of these establishments in Shreveport and Bossier. Throughout the week several local restaurants will offer deals and curated experiences for diners to bring in new customers and treat loyal ones.
