All the Non-Black People at the Orlando's Signature Dish Meeting




We told you last week that Visit Orlando, Mayor Teresa Jacobs and a select invited-by-Visit-Orlando group of restaurant employees and owners took it upon themselves to crowdsource the answer to a question nobody asked: What is Orlando's signature dish? They gathered in a windowless conference room to put together the whole concept of the program.... with no black people invited.

Visit Orlando also had no representation from the following:

  1. ethnic restaurant of any type except French
  2. street food
  3. casual restaurant

Visit Orlando instead invited the following

  1. high end hotel restaurants
  2. high end local restaurants
  3. high end food market
  4. theme park restaurants 

The lack of diversity across the board is embarrassing for the County and for Visit Orlando. To see the desserts they came up with go to VisitOrlando.com/Dish.
