San Antonio Restaurant Weeks
expand to accommodate diners
By Ginger McAnear Robinson
The increasing popularity of San Antonio Restaurant Week by
Culinaria has led to the extension of the event to San Antonio
Restaurant Weeks on Aug. 15-29. As participation from the restau-
rants and the community increases, Culinaria officials agreed that
now is the time to extend the offering.
“By adding the week in August, patrons have more chances to re-
turn to a restaurant that they really enjoyed, or they can continue ex- during this time, so reservations are encouraged and should be made
ploring some that they weren’t able to make it to in the first week,”
said Suzanne Taranto-Etheredge, President/CEO of Culinaria. “As
we continue adding restaurants to the lineup, we want to make sure
that guests have the opportunity to dine at all of the places on their
wish list.”
CULINARY COMMUNITY
Now in its sixth year, Restaurant Weeks highlight San Antonio
restaurants and help promote local business while also providing the
ultimate chance for the returning foodie or curious newbie to try
new things and maybe find a new favorite restaurant. It’s a celebration nate $1 for lunch and $2 for dinner to Culinaria and the programs
of the unique culinary community that San Antonio has to offer,
with each participating restaurant preparing to take guests’ taste buds

on the culinary adventure of a lifetime. The menus created by the
chefs range from decadent and extravagant to fresh and simple with
unique twists.
Participating restaurants will offer a prix-fixe, three-course menu
for lunch and dinner at prices of $15 and $35, respectively, for tier
one, and $10 and $25, respectively, for tier two. Restaurants are busy
directly with the restaurant.
During San Antonio Restaurant Weeks, anything goes as some of
the restaurants change things up a bit as well. Some that are open
only for dinner might open for lunch during the promotional period.
Culinaria posts as many of these details as possible on its website,
along with menus, so check CulinariaSA.org for updates.
Because San Antonio Restaurant Weeks benefit Culinaria, guests’
dining experiences are charitable ones. With each meal purchased
from the San Antonio Restaurant Weeks menus, restaurants will do-
it supports.
