Foodies, mark your calendars! Virginia\u2019s Blue Ridge Restaurant Week is set to return on Sept. 12 and last through the 20th. <\/p>\n
Restaurants from all across the region are expected to participate. Last year, nearly 80 restaurants got involved, including ones in the City of Roanoke, Roanoke County, the Town of Vinton, the City of Salem, Botetourt County and Franklin County. <\/p>\n
The event is designed to support businesses, attract new customers and strengthen the local economy.<\/p>\n
\u201cVBR Restaurant Week is such a special moment for our community. It\u2019s a chance to celebrate the incredible talent of our local chefs and enjoy the thoughtful, limited-time menus they\u2019ve crafted with so much care. Our independent restaurants truly are the heartbeat of Salem, and this week offers the perfect invitation to explore somewhere new or experience a fresh twist on a longtime favorite. I hope you\u2019ll take part and show support for the businesses that make our town vibrant, welcoming, and delicious,\u201d Salem Mayor Renee Turk said previously.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to partner with our neighboring municipalities to highlight the region\u2019s vibrant culinary scene as we welcome the summer season,\u201d said City of Roanoke Mayor Joe Cobb when the dates for the event were initially announced. \u201cWith a wealth of food enthusiasts and talented chefs offering diverse cuisine, VBR Restaurant Week promises to be an exciting and enjoyable experience for both residents and visitors.\u201d <\/p>\n
