2013 Restaurant Week

Are You Ready to “Step Up To The Plate”? Restaurant Week is Sept. 7 – 15 

Tulsa-area restaurants offer prix fixe specialty menus to support the Food Bank

Tulsa, Okla. – In conjunction with September’s national Hunger Action Month, area restaurants are stepping up to the plate to fight hunger in our community by participating in Tulsa’s seventh annual Restaurant Week Sept. 7 – 15.
Currently, there are 34 restaurants signed up to offer three-course, prix fixe meals and donate 10% of Restaurant Week menu proceeds to the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma’s Food for Kids program. Restaurant Week proceeds will be matched by the George Kaiser Family Foundation up to $25,000.
Restaurant Week patrons can select from a variety of three-course lunch and dinner menus designed to suit any taste and budget. Restaurants will offer a lunch menu priced at $12.95 per person and a dinner menu at one of three varying price points: $25 per person, $35 per person or $35 for two. Each meal will feature an appetizer, entrée and dessert and all prices exclude tax, gratuity and beverage.
Tuesday, Sept. 10 is Restaurant Week Celebrity Waiter Night. On this special night, local celebrities are paired up with participating restaurants to help serve patrons enjoying the prix fixe dinner menu.
The Food Bank’s Food for Kids program provides a backpack of food each week during the school year to more than 4,800 students in Tulsa County at risk of going hungry during the weekend and holidays. To date, Restaurant Week has raised more than $210,000 for the Food Bank’s mission of eliminating food insecurity.
“We are always happy to participate in Restaurant Week,” said Amanda Williams, marketing and communications manager for the McNellie’s Group. “We’re proud to be a part of this yearly tradition. This year, our new McNellie’s South location is joining in on the fun!”
An updated list of participating restaurants, their Restaurant Week menus and contact information will be available on the TulsaPeople iPad/iPhone app beginning Sept. 1. The app can be downloaded for free from the Apple iTunes store.
“We love when Restaurant Week rolls around,” said Heidi Ewing, community engagement manager at the Food Bank. “It’s always inspiring to see great Tulsa restaurants step up to help our community.” 
This year, Restaurant Week is hosting a social media contest. Show your love for Restaurant Week by posting pictures on social media. Use the hashtag #TulsaRW on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and you could win a dining certificate to one of your favorite Restaurant Week restaurants.
The event’s presenting sponsors are TulsaPeople magazine and OMNI Air International. Additional sponsors include the George Kaiser Family Foundation, News on 6, KRMG, Jarboe and Waller & Company Public Relations.
“We look forward to Restaurant Week every year,” said Jim Langdon, publisher of TulsaPeople. “It’s a great time to visit different restaurants and try new dishes all while giving back to such a worthy cause.”
TulsaPeople created Restaurant Week in 2006.
