Lexington Internet Marketing and Web Design Firm Blue Million Supports Lexington Restaurant Week

Connie Jo Miller and Tim Campbell of Blue Million

LEXINGTON RESTAURANT WEEK  was founded in 2013 by Connie Jo Miller, WKYT-TV and Tim Campbell (Blue Million digital marketing) to support and sustain authentic, local restaurants by increasing awareness of the economic and cultural benefits our outstanding restaurant scene provides. Event orchestrator Miller notes, “Restaurateurs and chefs really go all out – they strut their stuff with 3 course specials at a fraction of the typical tab. We’re lucky in Lexington to have more than our share of great local restaurants – many more innovative, independent restaurants than most cities our size. And we aim to keep it that way.”

Lexington Restaurant Week remains the one and only time our most popular, local restaurants unite to showcase what they do best. Each of the 35 locations illustrates their culinary ingenuity with multi-course dinner specials at a fraction of the typical tab.

Lexington Restaurant Week lasts 11 days from Thursday, July 18 to Sunday, July 28 in order to span over two weekends. The event attracts a variety of the most popular restaurants from casual to more sophisticated, ethnic to down-home southern fare. Dinner specials are offered at alluring prices, attracting droves of diners during what is typically a slower end of the summer for the restaurant business. Diners choose from multi-course menus for $25, $35 or $45 at 35 locations from Azur to Zim’s. Lexington mainstay Ramsey’s Diners are even offering a 2 for $25 dinner special. Many of the pre-fixe dinners have choices within each course and all are exemplary of what has made that restaurant so successful. Miller points out, “In this very competitive market, encouraging Lexingtonians to support our local restaurants and vibrant culinary scene is key to its survival.

Miller points out, “In this very competitive market, encouraging Lexingtonians to support our local restaurants and vibrant culinary scene is key to its survival. When we choose to dine at a local spot vs. a big chain a lot more of the dinner tab stays right here our community. Each dollar we spend at a local restaurant returns close to 3 times more money to our economy here in Lexington than one spent at a national chain.”
