If you haven’t tried Dandelion Café in Bellaire, now’s a good time to pay them a visit.

Fox26houston.com points out that this is the first time Dandelion Café has participated in Black Restaurant Week, offering a special shrimp and smoked-corn grits dish that complements the rest of the menu. JC Ricks and his wife own the Dandelion Café which started as a coffee shop, but now serves breakfast and lunch.

In the article, Ricks says, “”the main thing, for us, is just making sure that the food quality, and the food that I love to do, shines,”  “I love doing Creole food, I’m a first-generation African American, my mom’s West African and I love West African food. That doesn’t mean that I only have to do that, though.”

Black Restaurant Week continues through April 10.
