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 non-profits and charities.
As always, American Grocery Restaurant’s menu will contain the freshest, seasonal ingredients from our local farmers and artisans. Menus are subject to change daily based on availability of ingredients. Updated menus will be available for viewing at our website: www.americangr.com. AGR only utilizes natural clean food sources, hormone and antibiotic-free livestock, sustainable fish choices, and local produce.
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 Sixth Annual Foodie Fest. As you peruse the options and make your reservations, please note that this year's restaurants have opted for "3 for $30" menus, providing selections of starters, entrées, and desserts! Treat yourself to a three-course dinner (or two, or three!) during Foodie Fest!
Eat local, enjoy local, and bon appétit! S P O N S O R E D
