About Us
Celebrating Black culinary excellence across the diaspora
We're a movement, a celebration, and a homecoming for lovers of Black culinary traditions from every corner of the diaspora.
Born from a deep love for the tastes, stories, and soul that define Black food, Negus Foodie Finder is your passport to discovering the richness of our heritage — one plate at a time. Whether it's the smoky spice of jollof rice in a cozy West African kitchen, the tang of Creole gumbo on a Southern porch, or the comforting warmth of jerk chicken from a Caribbean food truck, we connect you to the chefs, creators, and communities that nourish our roots.
Our Mission
To spotlight and support Black-owned food businesses, empower culinary creatives, and make sure that our flavors, our stories, and our tables are never forgotten — but celebrated, shared, and supported.
Our Vision
A world where Black food is recognized not just for its taste, but for its legacy — where every Black chef, baker, pitmaster, mixologist, farmer, and street vendor gets the shine they deserve. We're building a digital bridge that connects you to soulful eats, hidden gems, and the cultural pride behind every dish.
Why We Exist
Too often, Black-owned food spots don't get the visibility they've earned. We're changing that — through technology, storytelling, and community. Black Foodie Finder helps you:
- Discover Black-owned restaurants, pop-ups, catering services, and markets in your area
- Support businesses that reflect your culture and values
- Share your foodie journey and favorite finds with others
So whether you're craving home-cooked comfort or exploring new flavors from across the diaspora — Black Foodie Finder is your guide to finding Black excellence on every plate.
Eat boldly. Celebrate loudly. Support proudly.
Negus Foodie Finder — Your culture. Your community. Your cravings.

As an immigrant chef bringing Nigerian cuisine to Texas, visibility was my biggest challenge. Black Foodie Finder has been instrumental in helping customers discover our authentic West African dishes. The platform understands our unique needs as a Black-owned business.

I travel frequently for work, and Black Foodie Finder has become my go-to app in every new city. I've discovered incredible hidden gems I would have never found otherwise. The app has connected me to my culture through food, even when I'm far from home.
