Get your favorite restaurant on the menu at this year’s Birmingham Restaurant Week
We already know Birmingham is a must-visit location for foodies. Did you know, though, that YOU can help influence which restaurants participate at this year’s Restaurant Week?
You can help encourage your personal picks for dining and delights by telling them about the event and how to get their top dishes on the menu. Here’s what to know:
- Who can participate: Any locally-owned (no chains) restaurant, bar, food truck and caterer within Jefferson and Shelby counties
- How does it work: Each restaurant can set its own menu to highlight new specialties with either 3 items or 3 courses. They can work with the BRW team for specific guidance.
- How do they sign up: Send them to this link. It costs $200 to participate, but if they sign up during the June 16th Mix & Mingle event (see below), registration is 50% off!
- What’s in it for them? They’ll gain exposure to a huge pool of local foodies with constant promotion before and during the event. Past participants have seen elevated sales during BRW and beyond.
- How does it help the community? BRW has donated more than $100,000 to a variety of local food-centered charities during its 14-year history—with Magic City Harvest as its designated regular beneficiary beginning last year.
