MIDA Chef Says Hospitality Best Served Warm For Boston Black Restaurant Challenge

In honor of Black History Month, state Rep. Chynah Tyler, of Boston, has sponsored the second annual Boston Black Restaurant Challenge, which encourages Bostonians to eat at four black-owned restaurants in the month of February.

We talk to a chef and restaurant owner about how he serves hospitality and uses food to bridge divides in his community.
