Founder and organizer Terri Henry, who brought restaurant week to Long Beach in 2014, said that in addition to encouraging local and surrounding “foodies” to enjoy what the expanding Long Beach culinary community has to offer, Dine LBC events support the local economy and put “butts in seats” of our valued restaurants and food establishments.
“Over the years, Dine LBC has evolved from a typical ‘restaurant week’ to more of an all-inclusive ‘culinary week’,” said founder and organizer Terri Henry. “We’ve continued to add unique food-related activities and experiences to this annual event year after year. Like last year, we’re even taking ‘dog friendly’ one step further by encouraging restaurants with patios to offer a special menu just for dogs!”
