Many restaurants take Happy Valley Restaurant Week as a way for them to find new customers and try out new recipes that customers may enjoy.
“This year, we’re particularly excited to feature some creative menu items from our past Monthly Chef’s Dinners. This offers an opportunity for our regular guests to savor some of their favorites once more and anyone who missed out before can see what all the fuss is about,” Adrienne Heidt, the owner of the Hublersburg Inn, said.
However, people who are eating in or taking out during Happy Valley Restaurant week also have a chance to win something other than a fun new meal. By posting your favorite meals you eat during Happy Valley Restaurant Week using the hashtag “#happyvalleyhungry,” you will be enrolled in a raffle to win a gift card to your choosing of any restaurant that is participating.
Restaurants will also be creating custom cocktails for Happy Valley Restaurant Week. These cocktails, along with their entrees and desserts, will only be available during Happy Valley Restaurant Week.
“I look forward to seeing what each restaurant puts together, whether it’s a molecular gastronomic creation, elevated comfort food or a fancy cocktail. I love that all different kinds of restaurants get in on the fun.” Anderson said.
