Calling all Milwaukee foodies! Here’s how you can help take several Black-owned restaurants to the next level

WAUWATOSA, Wis. (CBS 58) — If you consider yourself a foodie, you may want to listen up.  The Wisconsin Black Chamber of Commerce (TWBCC) is asking for your help taking local Black-owned restaurants to the next level. This is the second year the nonprofit will be giving $100,000 through a funding commitment with their community-based initiative. How it works is that $100,000 will be broken up into $25 gift cards that are being distributed to attendees at different chamber events. They can then take those gift cards to participating area eateries in exchange for a free meal and then provide feedback on the store’s customer service. “By helping small business owners, this helps families and enhances their economic standing as it aids in community development,” said TWBCC CEO Ruben Hopkins. “Our focus is to train, teach, encourage, and showcase entrepreneurs as they grow their businesses.” On Monday, Feb. 26, leaders held a press conference announcing the newest six restaurants participating in the program.  They include: Mr. B’s Privileged Lounge at 8617 W. Brown Deer Rd Milwaukee, WI 53224 Perkins Boyz on Tha Grill at 6818-22 W. Brown Deer Rd, Milwaukee, WI 53223 Brothers Backyard BBQ at 3530 W. National Ave....
