TOLEDO, OH (Toledo News Now) -
Restaurant
Week kicked off Thursday night in Toledo at The Blarney downtown.
There
are 27 locally-owned restaurants participating in the third annual event.
And
Restaurant Week-goers are already praising it.
"I
would definitely suggest coming out and trying all the different restaurants,
because it's definitely worth it," said Gus Patrick, a Blarney patron. "You get
to try all the different options…You get an appetizer, dessert, and a main
course...a lot of good food for the price."
The
Blarney has participated in past Restaurant Weeks, and they said it's always a
success.
"We
get to highlight the things that we're most popular for," said Manager Jennifer
Elliot. "You see people come from places…that normally they wouldn't come from."
Restaurant
Week is presented by Medical Mutual, and 10 percent of all proceeds go to local
non-profit Leadership Toledo.
The
featured restaurants will have set menus for the event, with meals ranging from
$10-30.
"[The
restaurants] have a great time with it because it brings new customers into
their restaurants, trying these meals," said Cory Dippold, Associate Executive
Director of Leadership Toledo. "It's great for the customers because they get a
great price on these meals, and it's also great for Leadership Toledo, because
it supports our mission."
