California Restaurant Month, which happens each January, gives gourmands around the state plenty of opportunities to get acquainted with the amazing cooks, inventive bartenders, delightful dining rooms, and memorable meals of their cities.
Long Beach is one of those spectacular spots, a place that brims with excellent restaurants, places that have gained fame thanks to a host of talented restauranteurs, bakers, sommeliers, and culinary artists.
The inaugural Long Beach Black Restaurant Week will honor many of these artists, all while giving the public a chance to find a great new restaurant, meet a terrific new chef, or connect with a long-enjoyed spot, the kind of incredible eatery we love returning to as often as we can.
