Four years ago, I participated in the Baltimore Black Restaurant Challenge, meant to encourage people to patronize more locally Black-Owned restaurants. During that time, I began hearing and seeing articles geared to highlighting black eateries in the city. I participated in the challenge to discover more options of places to eat. But now hearing about black-owned restaurants in Baltimore is easier to come by with advances in social media. I still like to share black-owned spaces to eat. This year we’re doing it with the help of Baltimore Food Blogger TJ Da DJ.

I contacted TJ Da DJ for his expertise in “Quick Bite Food Reviews” for which Black-owned restaurants he’d recommend this year for Doc’s Castle Media readers to explore.

Since 2016, TJ Da DJ has shared numerous food reviews of restaurants on his YouTube Channel TJ Da DJ TV. Now he has over 1.49k subscribers to his channel tuning in weekly for reviews. He’s given insight on popular food rivalries between chicken sandwiches at our favorite fast food spots, and whether the KFC’s Donut Sandwich is even worth our purchase. But what intrigues me the most about his channel is his quick bite food reviews at local restaurants in Baltimore City. TJ lists some goldmines to consider.

I couldn’t decide on one review from TJ Da DJ TV that’s the best. It wouldn’t be fair to rate either of these restaurants if I didn’t try any of them myself. So I’m sharing my top 3 favorite TJ Da DJ food reviews for you to decide on your own to patronize in Baltimore.
