The first ever black food festival is a success for the chefs, the city and those who had the pleasure of eating one delicious thing after the other.
For more than 50 years, the Cincinnati Music Festival, the second largest urban, and longest-running jazz, and R&B festival, has been one of the most anticipated weekends of the year. At the end of July, folks come from across the U.S. for the celebration.
This summer, Cincinnati marked another milestone. For the first time, the festival weekend included Cincy Soul: The Black Taste of Cincinnati, featuring the region’s top chefs and soul food creators. More than 25 food trucks and booths lined the streets around Fountain Square the symbolic center of the city since the 1800's.
Talk about good eats. Whether you fancy bbq, NOLA grub, down home southern goodness, jerk chicken, pecan pie and other delectable sweets, there was something to please all palates. It was a chance for black restauranteurs to show out and they did.
