Black, Indigenous and racialized-owned businesses in Edmonton highlighted as part of dining week

If you are a foodie, you are about to be in for a real treat!

Feed the Soul YEG is an entirely volunteer-led and driven organization, with a goal of celebrating and amplifying Black, Indigenous, and racialized-owned businesses, particularly in the food and beverage sector in Edmonton.

To try and bring those businesses to the forefront, Feed the Soul Dining Week was introduced to spread the word about these restaurants in Edmonton.

From October 17-26, foodies can enjoy “Ten Dolla Deals” offering 10 days to explore city-wide $10 menu items from local restaurants, cafés and takeout counters.

Darrell Stranger spoke with the co-lead for the Ten Dolla Deals initiative, TJ Jegede to talk about the dining week, what is being offered and the importance of Feed The Soul’s mandate.
