Annette Jones+FollowEthiopian flavors coming to downtown ChampaignDowntown 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 #EthiopianCuisine00Share
TechnoTyrant+FollowFirst Time Trying Injera—Mind Blown by the Flavors! 🥄🌍Injera is this spongy, slightly tangy flatbread from Ethiopia, and wow, it’s nothing like anything I’ve tasted before. The texture is so unique—almost like a pancake but with a sour kick that pairs perfectly with all the stews and veggies piled on top. Tried it at a small Ethiopian spot while traveling, and honestly, the way you scoop up everything with your hands is just wild. Didn’t expect to be so impressed by how the flavors all blend together. Definitely an experience that sticks with you. #EthiopianCuisine #InjeraExperience #FoodAdventure #Food00Share
SparklingSprite+FollowEver Tried Ethiopian Doro Wat? Mind-Blowing Flavors Await 🍲Doro Wat is an Ethiopian chicken stew that totally took me by surprise. It’s this deep, spicy, almost smoky dish loaded with berbere spice, slow-cooked onions, and tender chicken, all served with spongy injera bread. The first time I tried it was at a small family-run spot in DC, and honestly, I was speechless at how rich and complex the flavors were. The heat sneaks up on you, but the tangy bread balances it out perfectly. It’s nothing like anything I’d had before—seriously impressive. #EthiopianCuisine #DoroWat #FoodDiscovery #Food42Share
