POC-Owned Eateries in Los Angeles (a growing list)
Supporting local businesses that are owned by People Of Color (POCs) is more important now than ever!
This is why I’ve personally taken it upon myself to seek out the best and the tastiest in Los Angeles! The journey has just begun, but I’ve already found so many amazing dishes, and met some truly amazing POC owners.
Be sure to check back on this list frequently to see the latest editions, and please tag me if you end up going! I’d love to hear all about your experience!
