Step Up to the Plate

Tulsa’s 5th annual Restaurant Week will be held Sept. 10-18.

“Step Up to the Plate” to help fight hunger in Oklahoma ­during Tulsa’s 5th annual Restaurant Week, Sept. 10-18. More than 30 restaurants will offer three-course, prix fixe meals and donate 10 percent of Restaurant Week menu proceeds to the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma’s Food for Kids program. Restaurant Week proceeds will be matched by the George Kaiser Family Foundation up to $25,000.
    This year, participating restaurants will offer a $12.95 per person three-course lunch menu (excluding tax, gratuity and beverage) and one of three tiers of dinner options. The three tiers are a three-course ­dinner at either $25 per person, $35 per person or $35 for two (excluding tax, gratuity and ­beverage). Each meal will feature an appetizer, entrée and dessert.      
    “With the addition of three dinner menu price points, more of our restaurants are able to ­participate in Restaurant Week,” said Muriel Hakim, marketing and communications manager for the McNellie’s Group. “We’re excited to see that ­translate into more patrons ­dining at great restaurants to support the food bank’s good work throughout eastern Oklahoma.”
    The food bank’s Food for Kids program provides a backpack of food each week during the school year to 6,051 students at risk of going hungry during the weekend and holidays. In 2010, Restaurant Week raised more than $35,000 for the Food for Kids program.
    “In addition to several returning restaurants, we’re incredibly pleased so many new restaurants are stepping up to the plate to help us fight hunger in our community this year,” said Frances Bevel, community events development manager at the food bank. “Because of the generosity of local restaurants, the Food for Kids program will be able to provide backpacks to every needy student in our ­community during the 2011-2012 school year.”
    Returning again this year, the award-winning Restaurant Week iPhone application (RW2011) will be available to download beginning Sept. 1 from the Apple iTunes store and will allow Restaurant Week patrons to access information about participating restaurants, directions, contact information and specialty menus.
    Presenting sponsors of Restaurant Week 2011 are TulsaPeople magazine and Omni Air International. Additional sponsors include Waller & Company Public Relations and Anyware Mobile Solutions.
