We started at The Jacobson on Friday followed by Remedy and Louie's Wine Dive Saturday night! And the event is less
than 48 hours old ... so what's next? The 2013 edition of KC Restaurant Week is in full swing and judging by the
response at local venues combined with the outpouring of commentary on Twitter
(#KCRW2013) it’s off to an incredible success!
Take a look at recent reviews

Kansas City Restaurant Week was created by the Greater Kansas City
Restaurant Association and the Kansas City Convention & Visitors
Association in an effort to support the local restaurant community spanning
both sides of the Missouri and Kansas border. 2010 marked the inaugural year
for the 10-day event, designed to spotlight Kansas City as one of the country's
premier dining destinations and in partnership with Harvesters – The Community FoodNetwork, to fight hunger in the Kansas City area.
The event also benefits The Kansas City Regional
Destination Development Foundation and The Greater Kansas City RestaurantAssociation Education Foundation, both nonprofit organizations helping to advance culinary education
and the restaurant and tourism industries in Kansas City.
The 2013 Kansas City Restaurant Week highlights
a smorgasbord of cuisines with hundreds of menus for lunch and dinner that will
be crafted by participating restaurants’ culinary teams. The prix fixe menus will
offer various courses for lunch and dinner at $15 and $30, respectively.

Ten percent of each Restaurant Week menu meal
ordered will be donated to the three aforementioned organizations. In 2012, the
event raised $143,000, a record for Harvesters – the Community Food Network
which, in turn, provided more than 700,000 meals to the hungry in Kansas City.
A newly
updated mobile App and website are now available allowing diners to access a
complete list of participating restaurants and full menus, which are being
uploaded as they are received by participating restaurants, that will be
offered during the 10-day event.
Once again,
diners will be able to make reservations at participating restaurants directly
from the mobile app via OpenTable.com.
The enhanced website will offer similar functions as the mobile app and will
also feature photography of some of the actual dishes that you will find during
Restaurant Week. Kansas City Restaurant Week can be found online at KCRestaurantWeek.com.
Diners can
also find regular menu sneak peeks, insider information and can enter to win
gift cards at participating Restaurant Week restaurants by “liking” the Kansas
City Restaurant Week Facebook page at facebook.com/KansasCityRestaurantWeek.
Kansas City Restaurant Week is also on Twitter at @RestaurantWeek.
