Want to find and support Black-owned restaurants in our community? From plant-based chicken sammies and wood-fired pizzas to mouthwatering barbecue and Insta-worthy tacos, there are plenty of mouthwatering bites around Los Angeles to choose from. Inspired by food journalist Kat Hong’s viral spreadsheet of more than 100 African-American food businesses across the city, we’ve drilled down to recommend some of the meals we love that are currently available for pickup and delivery. Note: Many third-party delivery apps take hefty commissions; consider picking up your food instead to put more money in local restaurants' pockets.
(And remember, putting our money where our mouth is is just one small way to show support for the Black community right now—there are many others.)
