GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Diners in Grand Rapids still have most of a week to take part in Restaurant Week GR, which opened Nov. 6 and continues through Nov. 14. The event, now in its 17th year, is run by Experience Grand Rapids.
Participating restaurants serve menus of at least two courses at set prices of $25, $35 or $45, and many create dishes they do not normally offer. A menu might pair an appetizer with an entree, an entree with dessert, or run a full three courses. Each restaurant sets its own hours, so calling ahead is a good idea.
A free digital pass lets diners browse menus and check in at each stop. Visiting three participating restaurants earns a choice of prizes such as an apron, a lunchbox or admission to the Nov. 20-21 food and drink festival at DeVos Place, the International Wine, Beer and Food Festival. Six or more check-ins earn a second prize.
Gordon Food Service is giving $1 per check-in to a scholarship fund for culinary students through the GRCC Secchia Institute for Culinary Education. Pass holders can vote for favorite restaurants, and the winners are named after the event ends.
Neighborhood business groups, including the Stockbridge Business Association, urged local restaurants this summer to sign up, pointing to the advertising and publicity that come with taking part.
