FAQ

Who is considered  a “Brown girl”?
We consider a “Brown girl” any BIPOC identifying woman. We were founded in Austin, Texas, but invite all Brown women to participate in our virtual and in-person events across the globe!

What do you do? 
We hold meetups at BIPOC owned restaurants in the cities we live in. We also invite BIPOC chefs, both professionally trained and home chefs, to cook for the community.

Why BIPOC owned restaurants?
Besides having amazing food, these restaurants are often underrated and can use our support in a city dominated by systemic racism, gentrification and a general lack of diversity. These places are less likely to get your business compared to restaurants with investors, hospitality groups and PR behind them. These restaurants need your business to survive. 

What's the point of the club? 
To build a community of like-minded folks by gathering, eating good food, discovering something new and supporting underrepresented restaurants and communities. 

Do you have to be a woman? 
For now we're keeping meetups exclusive to BIPOC woman identifying and gender nonbinary members. We do have events for the general public and our community allies.

When are we eating?
Casual meetups are held (almost) monthly, and we will have other types of events and popups in between. All events will be announced on our Instagram page and listed for RSVP on the BGFC website.

What are we eating? 
Everything! The focus is on BIPOC restaurants and the rich culinary cultures behind them. We'll be exploring restaurants and cuisines from all over the world. Bring your curiosity, an open mind and maybe some Tums.

Does the club only visit brick and mortar restaurants?
We'll be visiting food trucks, supper clubs, cooking classes, grocery stores, markets and bodegas!

What about a submission? 
Yes! Send us pictures and reviews of any minority owned restaurants you love via email or IG DM. We'd love to feature them on our site. Please include restaurant name, photos, location, the type of cuisine, price range and general vibe so we can maintain a consistent and detailed index.
