ORANGE COUNTY, TEXAS – The Orange County Economic Development Corporation (Orange County EDC) is proud to announce the launch of Let’s Eat Orange County! Restaurant Week, a county-wide celebration of local restaurants, cafés, bakeries and dining destinations taking place Sept. 21–27.
More than just a restaurant promotion, Let’s Eat Orange County! is a community-wide effort designed to showcase the incredible flavors, hospitality, and entrepreneurial spirit that make Orange County a great place to live, work, and visit.
Throughout the week, residents and visitors are encouraged to explore local dining establishments, discover new favorites, revisit longtime staples, and support the hardworking restaurant owners, chefs, and staff who contribute to the county’s vibrant economy.
“Restaurants are an important part of our local economy and community identity,” said Orange County EDC staff Jessica Irvin. “Every meal purchased during Restaurant Week supports local entrepreneurs, creates jobs, generates economic activity, and helps strengthen the small businesses that serve as gathering places for our families, friends, and visitors.”
Participating restaurants will have the opportunity to showcase signature menu items, special promotions, and unique dining experiences while gaining exposure through county-wide marketing and promotional efforts.
From breakfast meetings and lunch outings to family dinners and date nights, Let’s Eat Orange County! invites everyone to celebrate the diverse culinary offerings found throughout Orange County.
The event aims to:
Support local restaurants and food-related businesses
Encourage residents to shop and dine locally
Attract visitors from surrounding communities
