During Omaha Restaurant Week

We have told you over the past few weeks that Omaha is having its first ever Restaurant Week in September.  We have implied that there will be several Omaha Restaurants participating in this event but haven’t really told you who they are yet.  Nor have we really told you what Restaurant Week is all about.  That is exactly what we are going to do today.

Below is a sample of the ever growing list of restaurants that will be participating in Restaurant Week. During the promotion, participating restaurants offer an exclusive specials menu multi-course dinner at a fixed price of either $19 or $29 per person. Patrons can select from their choice of appetizers, entrees and desserts. The restaurant also features their regular menu during the promotion.

Omaha Restaurant Week Is Coming – Get Ready Omaha, It’s Time to Dine!

July 5, 2011 OMAHA, NE – Clear Channel Radio, Omaha Publications and the Omaha Restaurant Association are getting ready to launch the first Omaha Restaurant Week this September. The event mirrors similar, successful restaurant weeks in large metropolitan areas such as Kansas City, Chicago and Denver.

Omaha Restaurant Week is a celebration of the unique, exciting culinary scene in the Omaha metro. Participating restaurants will offer a multi-course dinner at a fixed price of either $19 or $29 per person. Patrons can select from their choice of appetizers, entrees and desserts. “We are looking forward to increased traffic and the opportunity to turn new customers into loyal patrons,” says John Wade, Director of Operations for Restaurants, Inc. and consultant for Omaha Restaurant Week. “Our chefs will show off exciting menu items that are sure to ‘wow’ our diners.”

Restaurants that participate support the Food Bank for the Heartland. “Food Bank for the Heartland receives incredible support from local restaurants and we are grateful it will continue through Omaha Restaurant Week,” said Brian Barks, Director of Development and PR from the Food Bank. “The partnership with local restaurateurs is a tremendous asset of our mission to eliminate hunger in Nebraska and western Iowa.  It’s difficult to imagine 22,000 people seek emergency food assistance in our area each week.”

Clear Channel Radio Omaha is sponsoring the event, involving all 5 radio stations, including KFAB and KGOR. They will support Omaha Restaurant Week with air staff dine-outs and on-air feedings. “Clear Channel  is excited and honored to be Omaha Restaurant Week’s radio sponsor. Based on the success and growing popularity of this event in other cities, the promotion promises to be great addition to the fall calendar,” states Meg DeLone, Director of Sales for Clear Channel. “Omaha is rich with fabulous restaurants and this event will offer our listeners new dining experiences.”

Omaha Restaurant Week is endorsed and sponsored by Omaha Restaurant Association. “As an association we continue to strive to benefit our current members and attract new members,” says Rich Barmettler, Immediate Past President of Omaha Restaurant Association. “Omaha Restaurant Week is the perfect platform to achieve both goals while assisting the community in experiencing our dynamic range of excellent dining venues that has helped put Omaha on the map nationally.”

Omaha Restaurant Week is sponsored by Omaha Publications, which includes Omaha Magazine, The Encounter Magazine, HER Magazine and Family Spectrum.  "Omaha Restaurant Week is a tremendous opportunity to celebrate our excellent and diverse culinary community, benefit the Food Bank for the Heartland and have fun dining out,” says Sandy Lemke, City Editor of Omaha Magazine. “It is also a fantastic time to try out new places before you vote in Omaha Magazine’s Best of Omaha ballot where  the restaurant categories are always the most hotly contested.”

Other sponsors include Heartland Payment Systems, expedoodle.com, JM Web Designs and ARAMARK.

Omaha Restaurant Week was organized by Urban Events, Inc., the producer of the annual Riverfront Wine Festival and Omaha Beer Fest. “Omaha is the right city for a promotion like this,” says Jen Kocher, Executive Producer at Urban Events. “We are excited to bring what has been very successful in other markets to Omaha, where you’ll find some of the best independent restaurants in the country.”

Enrollment for restaurants is currently underway. Interested restaurants and sponsors should contact Urban Events for participation information.
