Atlanta Black Restaurant Week off to a tasty start in Marietta

The 8th annual Atlanta Black Restaurant Week kicked off Monday night with an event at Marietta Proper.

More than 125 Black-owned restaurants, bars, food trucks and other businesses are being featured this year. If you're hungry, or looking for your next favorite spot, you may want to give one of them a visit.

Black Restaurant Week was founded by Atlanta-based Warren Luckett who took it from being a one-city experience in 2016 to the multi-regional phenomenon it is today.
