    Chicago Black Restaurant Week: 2024

    Chicago Black Restaurant Week has returned to Chicago this week. The annual event, founded by Memphis native and Chicago resident Lauran Smith, puts a stamp on a well known fact: Chicago is the comfort food capital of the world. So, what better way to show your inner foodie than embracing the essence of the local Black-owned restaurant scene?

    Now through February 25 we will be savoring up culinary delights, uplifting local entrepreneurs, and celebrating the rich history behind these incredible establishments. Get ready for a mouthwatering two weeks filled with delicious dishes and feel-good vibes!

    The idea came from my desire to celebrate my community, but in a way that made me feel like it was truly something that would provide a service as well!

    KITCHEN + KOCKTAILS BY KEVIN KELLEY

    444 N WABASH AVE (CHICAGO)

    Kitchen + Kocktails by Kevin Kelley is revolutionizing the way Americans enjoy elevated comfort food. Mr. Kevin Kelley, the owner, is a serial entrepreneur. Mr. Kevin Kelley was living abroad in Paris, France, after finding success as a litigation attorney in Dallas, Texas, at the Kelley Law Firm. Upon returning to the United States, Mr. Kelley realized how much he missed the food that reminded him of home while overseas. Through this experience, he decided on his next endeavor: to open a beautifully designed, elevated comfort food dining room. From there, Kevin Kelley had a vision. Why don’t we have a restaurant in a prime location where we can feel good about ourselves, with great cocktails and soul food? Answering this question set him on a path to find a location to bring this idea to life. Unfortunately, in Dallas, no one with prime locations would lease a building to him for imprudent reasons. Kevin’s response was to buy the historic Hart building on Elm St. outright. This is how Kitchen + Kocktails by Kevin Kelley came to life in a prime location and historic landmark of Dallas, Texas. Kitchen + Kocktails was introduced to the Dallas restaurant market in May of 2020 during the pandemic.
