Preview: Sudden Support

A Black-owned restaurant in the Antelope Valley has seen business pick up recently — but with a changed customer base. Chef Michael Brignac said he’s seeing more people from the Black community ordering at his Lee Esther’s Creole and Cajun Cooking. “We were kind of well diverse in our restaurant. We had Hispanics, Blacks, whites, Asians. Since this whole thing we’re starting to see more Black people come in,” added Brignac, referring to the aftermath of the George Floyd killing on Memorial Day. “A part of that is we’re trying to support each other, trying to spend more dollars with Black owned businesses, and we’re starting to see a lot of that.” Read the full story in the Aug. 17 issue of the San Fernando Valley Business Journal.
