PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Market Square and several blocks of the Boulevard of the Allies are full of soul food this Labor Day weekend. Officially named A Soulful Taste of the Burgh, the festival is all about soul food, which organizers say is a staple of the Black community. "So soul food is the traditional African American food that we were raised on based on our slavery. So that is wings and ribs and mac and cheese and greens and pineapples, stuff like that. A variety of different foods," explained B. Marshall, producer of Soulful Taste of the Burgh.Chicken wings are a classic example of good soul food.

There's also more beyond soul food. There's also Asian, Greek, Indian and even carnival food. Last year, according to VisitPittsburgh, the festival pumped over $1 million a day back into the economy.

Hampton Restaurant Week: Eat, drink and save money
As they say, the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Of course, such conventional wisdom applies to women and children, too. “That’s something we’ve heard from our community for a long time, that restaurants are an important part of what they want to see with our business offerings here,” Amanda Lukas said. “And I think Step One for that is to make sure that people are aware of the restaurants we do have, and to make sure we do everything we can for them to be successful.”
