In a recent initiative, Charlotte’s Midtown district saw a vibrant gathering at the 3rd & Fernwood restaurant with a fresh dining series focusing on Black-owned businesses. The event brought together 60 guests for a family-style feast, featuring comfort staples like fried chicken and oxtail meatloaf, designed to boost local restaurateurs, particularly on typically slower Wednesday nights. Chef Greg Collier reflected on the joy of sharing not just food but stories, reinforcing community bonds.

This series is more than just a meal; it’s about creating a welcoming environment and supporting local economies. By providing a platform for Black-owned eateries, it encourages connections and financial boosts to the community.
