Houston's much-touted diversity is reflected in the arts, culture, its businesses — and definitely in its food.

For Black History Month, the Houston Matters group of foodies celebrates that diversity by highlighting their favorite Black-owned restaurants in this month's installment of The Full Menu.

In the audio above, we hear from Eric Sandler of CultureMap Houston, Felice Sloan of the Swanky Maven lifestyle blog, and David Leftwich of Houston Food Finder.
