14th Annual Kansas City Restaurant Week to feature 10 days of dining deals, January 13-22
Over 200 regional restaurants to offer special multi-course carryout, delivery, and dine-in menus; Portion of proceeds to benefit featured beneficiary Cornerstones of Care
KANSAS CITY, MO – From carryout and delivery services to traditional dine-in experiences, Kansas City Restaurant Week presented by Sysco returns to the metro area this week, running Jan. 13-22. Now in its 14th year, the 10-day dining event showcases the region’s culinary talents through special, muti-course menus at three affordable price tiers - $20, $40, and $50. Select restaurants are providing a 4th tier pricing package of $55 for an even more upscale dining experience. As of today, more than 200 restaurants have signed up to participate in the popular annual tradition organized by Visit KC and the greater Kansas City Restaurant Association (GKCRA).
“Every year, Kansas City Restaurant Week offers residents and visitors alike a unique opportunity to experience the culinary and cultural offerings of our city and its neighborhoods,” said Kathy Nelson, President and CEO of Visit KC. “I encourage all to support our local restaurants, discover those hidden gems off the beaten path and give back to the local hospitality industry – a critical component to our local economy. No matter where you dine, you will discover an array of flavors and amazing deals. Restaurants are a cornerstone of Kansas City’s hospitality and tourism industry and a vital part of our community. They bring us together, make our community unique and nourish our region.”
In addition to casting a spotlight on KC’s diverse culinary scene, 10 percent of proceeds for every Restaurant Week meal sold will benefit three local charities. Over the course of its first 13 years, more than $3.3 million has been raised by restaurants and diners for local causes. In 2023, benefiting organizations included the Cornerstones of Care – the 2023 featured charity – in addition to the Visit KC Foundation and the GKCRA Education Foundation.
“Thanks to the generosity of our diners and participating restaurants, we are excited to shine a spotlight on Cornerstones of Care and their tremendous work through Kansas City Restaurant Week,” said Bill Teel, GKCRA Executive Director. “Participants can dine out knowing they’re also helping to give back to this exceptional worthy cause.”
