African Restaurant Week is an event being hosted by a variety of African restaurants to showcase and promote African businesses and culture in San Diego.
In an effort to promote the El Cajon Boulevard?s ethnic business clusters, the El Cajon Boulevard Business Improvement Association, partnered with the Horn of Africa, International Rescue Committee in San Diego, City Heights CDC and the WorldBeat Cultural Center shed a positive light on San Diego?s newly settled African community. There are scattering of Ethiopian, Kenyan, Eritrean and Somali restaurants in San Diego, particularly in City Heights where refugees from other countries first move to when they arrive here. A business district is a reflection of the local community, and African Restaurant Week is a great opportunity to celebrate the food, music and culture from this region of the world, that now has a growing presence in the San Diego?s diverse neighborhoods.
To kick-off African Restaurant Week, the World Beat Center is hosting an extraordinary event on Friday evening. The event will begin with a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony and drum call, followed by an Ethiopian beer and wine tasting, and a ?Taste of African Cuisine? from each participating restaurant. The chef at the World Beat Center will host a free African vegetarian food cooking class and the night will culminate with a fantastic array of African music.
