The goal of the restaurant week, organizers say, is to “promote all the different dining options in our county and encourage our residents and visitors to try something new.” With 15 restaurants already signed on and more potentially joining before the week begins, there’s no shortage of options to explore.
As in past years, diners can enter a prize basket giveaway hosted by the Chamber of Commerce by scanning a QR code at each participating restaurant for every visit.
The event is open to any Champaign County restaurant, and organizers are encouraging residents to nudge their favorites to sign up before the week kicks off. Seven days and countless cravings come together in one community-wide celebration during Champaign County Restaurant Week.
