Most participating restaurants are offering special deals over the next two weeks to try to bring in customers. "Restaurants already have a hard enough time, but a lot of restaurants in African-American communities suffer because some of them are so small, it's like a mom and pop situation. So I'm just like let me highlight some of these businesses to just help generate some revenue for them so that they can maintain and keep running," Smith said.
"Food prices, just like when you go to the grocery store, how high the prices are, they're just as high for us in the restaurants. So it's hard trying to get it, and then every item isn't available," Roy said.
