Celebrate the closing of Black History Month with Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity’s Detroit Restaurant Weekend! The members of the Metro Detroit alumni chapters are hosting the event to support Sigma-owned restaurants during the pandemic. This is a wonderful opportunity for Detroiters and beyond to support these great locally-owned and Black-owned businesses!
As a self-proclaimed Detroit foodie, I can’t wait to discover some of the restaurants participating in the mini food festival! If you follow me on my Instagram, then you know I’m always sharing Detroit restaurants and food festivals I love to visit.
In fact, Le Crepe, one of the restaurants featured on the list, was one of the first Detroit eateries we visited after we moved to the metro area. I remember ordering crepes and a steak. It was SO good! Definitely recommend you visit Le Crepe this weekend.
Phi Beta Sigma’s Restaurant Weekend begins tomorrow, February 25th, and will end on Saturday, February 27th. Each restaurant will offer guests great service, delicious food, and COVID-19 safety precautions.
