Gilroy to Celebrate 'Restaurant Month' With Deals, Specials at Local Eateries

The following was submitted for publication by the Gilroy Welcome Center: 


As part of Visit California’s fourth annual California Restaurant Month celebration, the community of Gilroy will feature local restaurants participating in Gilroy Restaurant Month (January 12 – 26, 2014).

 

With a nod to Gilroy’s reputation as the “Garlic Capital of the World,” local area restaurants will be offering special menus created specifically for this event, with plenty of garlic-laced dishes for diners to enjoy.

“Garlic never goes out of season,” noted Jane Howard, Executive Director of the Gilroy Welcome Center, “and January is a great time for locals and visitors to experience some of the best food and wine in our destination—at values they might not find any other time of year.”

Over the next few weeks, representatives from the Gilroy Welcome Center and the Gilroy Downtown Business Association will be contacting restaurants in the area and providing information about this event. Participating restaurants will create prix-fixe menus that will be posted on a special website created for this special event. The deadline for restaurants to register is December 6, 2013. 

 

“Last year’s third annual California Restaurant Month was another success, with 33 participating destinations throughout the state, 20.4 million media impressions, and nearly $800,000 in media value,” said Caroline Beteta, Visit California President and CEO. 

 

This is Gilroy’s first time participating in the state-wide promotion, and the collaboration between the Gilroy Welcome Center and Gilroy Downtown Business Association to promote this new event demonstrates the community’s strong support of local restaurants.
