If you missed the first three-years of this trending event, then make sure you’re in the mix between Jan. 22-31 when 25 local restaurants serve up delicious fare to benefit the Boys and Girls Club of South Central Kansas.
This year, Restaurant Week is 10-days long, which gives you two weekends to take advantage of the special menus at the participating restaurants. It’s a great time to try a restaurant new to you, get a great deal at some of the city’s best eateries or have an excuse for dining out, with 10% of all proceeds from the Wichita Restaurant Week menus going to the Boys and Girls Club.
Each restaurant will offer special menus designed to give visitors and locals a chance to discover why Wichita was called a “Top 10 foodie city,” by Livability.com.
The 2016 event is the third installment of Wichita Restaurant Week, coordinated by Visit Wichita and the Kansas Restaurant & Hospitality Association. New this year is a focus on giving guests a true dining experience: Each restaurant will serve three courses of a salad or appetizer, an entree and a dessert.
Many of us don’t always splurge the time or money on three courses. Consider these 10 days your justification to slow down and experience all a restaurant has to offer. The restaurants are make it easy with pre-set menus, which you can view at wichitarestaurantweek.com.
Organizers have recruited a diverse mix of restaurants to offer a variety of cuisine and price points for every budget. Of the 25 restaurants, 12 are participating for the first time.
If someone in your party wants to order an item not included on the Wichita Restaurant Week menu, you can still support the Boys and Girls Clubs. Ask your server for an Extra Helping envelope. You can enclose a donation that will go directly to the charity, or you can also visit BeGreatWichita.com to make your donation online.
When you dine Jan. 22-31 and order from the Wichita Restaurant Week menu, take selfies or photos of your food. Post them on the event’s Twitter or Facebook accounts with hashtags #ICTdining and #WRW16 for a chance to win $50 gift certificates!
