Gwinnett restaurant week a world tour of cuisine

Explore Gwinnett will mark the 10th anniversary of restaurant week beginning Sunday, July 19 through Thursday, July 23. The 2015 Gwinnett Restaurant Week features 17 restaurants representing the diverse population of the Atlanta area's largest county. Participating restaurants, including farm-to-table, steakhouses and international cuisine, put together a three-course menu of their favorite recipes.

"We are so excited that Gwinnett's restaurant scene is evolving and diversifying each year," said Lisa Anders, executive director of Explore Gwinnett. "Gwinnett Restaurant Week is designed to showcase restaurant menus and gain new customers. The Korean dining scene in Duluth is exploding, so we are delighted Breakers Korean BBQ is participating this year."

Most participating restaurants require reservations for Restaurant Week, and Anders suggests making them early to confirm space. "A number of our restaurants sell out each year, so the earlier the better for making reservations."
