Black Stallion Steakhouse, voted first among nominees for the 2025 Large Business/Industry, was the first of the three new food establishments. It began as a shared dream of the Alvarez family in 2012, and when the opportunity arose to open a second location, Erick and Carlos were welcomed to help bring the Columbia restaurant to life. Since then, they have developed strong relationships, and brought more jobs, in the Columbia community through a commitment to local service. -- From introductions by Ellen Zornes, Executive Director, Chamber of Commerce.
