Top Trends on Restaurant Menus (From "What's Hot 2013 Chef Survey" conducted by the National Restaurant Association.

he concept of “shop local” has become increasingly popular in recent years. We want to take that one step further and encourage you to “eat local.” Not only do our local restaurants offer amazing food, they are also committed to supporting our community. Many times the appetizing meal in front of you has been created from ingredients that were purchased from our local growers, dairies, and farms. Beyond that, our local restaurants are also well-known supporters of area nonprofits and charities. By patronizing our local restaurants, you are making your own contribution to the Upstate of South Carolina. In recognition and appreciation of your support, our local restaurateurs are excited to be participating in the Fifth Annual Foodie Fest. As you peruse the options and make your reservations, please note that restaurants have elected to present a “3 for $30,” or “2 for $20” menu.

Eat local, enjoy local, and bon appétit! S p o ns o r e d
