A Soulful Taste of the Burgh
PITTSBURGH SOUL FOOD FESTIVAL
Established in 2019 in commemoration of Pittsburgh's past, and present, food service pioneers and entrepreneurs, such as:
- Benjamin Richards, who, by 1788, established the first Black Butchery Company in Downtown Pittsburgh, PA on 3rd avenue (current-Day #1 PPG Plaza)
- Charles Richards, who, by 1795, owned the first Black Restaurant & Lodge on Ferry street (present-Day Stanwix Street) called "The Negro Tavern"
- Rev. John C. Peck, who, in 1838 opened the first Oyster House and Ice-cream Parlor on 3rd avenue; and
- John R. Pulpress & Benjamin Pulpress who owned and operated the first Black Fish Stall inside Market Square and at The Allegheny Market House (Northside) on 26th & First Street
