Inaugural 10-day event celebrates the city's culinary community while offering great dining values

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Greater Kansas City Restaurant Association, in conjunction with the Kansas City Convention & Visitors Association, announces the inaugural Kansas City Restaurant Week event to take place January 22-31, 2010.

For 10 delicious days, residents of the Kansas City metro area, along with visitors from around the Midwest and across the country, can eat well and give back by taking advantage of special multi-course meals at participating restaurants. Lunches will include two courses for $15 per person and dinners will include three courses for $30 per person (excluding beverages, tax and gratuity). Ten percent of each restaurant week lunch or dinner price will go to Harvesters to help fight hunger in the Kansas City community.

"Kansas City Restaurant Week is a great showcase of the quality and uniqueness of Kansas City restaurants. It's also a perfect opportunity to fight hunger and bolster our local economy," says Kansas City Convention & Visitors Association President & CEO Rick Hughes. "From family-owned eateries and outposts of well known restaurant chains to progressive, chef-driven restaurants, Kansas City has something to suit everyone's tastes."

The event will feature an array of participating restaurants so that people dining out can visit old favorites and Kansas City dining institutions while also trying some of the many new and interesting restaurants that have opened recently in the Kansas City metro area.
