Downtown Champaign is about to get a taste of something totally new—authentic Ethiopian cuisine! Blue Ethiopian Cuisine and Cafe is opening soon in the old Farren’s spot, bringing a fresh cultural flavor to our food scene. Owner Bezza Ayalew, who’s called Champaign home for nearly 20 years, says the closest place for real Ethiopian food is hours away. The name “Blue” isn’t just about color—it means “eat, enjoy” in his language. This is more than just a restaurant; it’s a chance for the community to experience a whole new way of sharing food and culture. Who’s excited to try it? #Food #ChampaignEats #EthiopianCuisine
