This year Zagat ranked Birmingham “America’s No. 1 Next Hot Food City,” and Birmingham Restaurant Week plans to celebrate its culinary culture Aug. 14-23.
Restaurants in the Homewood area that have already committed to participate are: Apple Dumpling Bar, Homewood Gourmet, JoJo’s on Broadway, Little Donkey and Nabeel’s. In total, 50 establishments participated last year.
During the 10 days, restaurants will offer special two and/or three-course prix fixe lunch and/or dinner menus for $5, $10, $20 or $30 per person. Several menus will also include beer and/or wine flight components, brunch offerings and other drink specials.
Restaurant Week is organized by REV Birmingham, which works to revitalize places and energize business to create vibrancy in the city of Birmingham. Last year the event brought in a 20 percent average increase in restaurant sales compared to other 10-day periods.
“Our hope is that this 10-day event will draw attention to the top-notch locally owned dining opportunities right here in Birmingham,” said James Little, BRW creator/director and district manager of REV. “Additionally, Birmingham Restaurant Week’s economic impact helps positively impact our community, business owners and residents.”
