Each of the 24 restaurants will offer a unique Restaurant Week menu with several different choices of entrees, appetizers and desserts, said Sydnie Furton, marketing manager for Visit Ogden.
“We have something for every budget and price point,” said Steve Ballard, owner of Sonora Grill and Thai Curry Kitchen. “Our goal is to let people know how spectacular and affordable the independently owned and operated dining scene is here in Ogden. During Ogden Restaurant Week, we offer a multiple-course, lower-priced menu so that diners can sample something new or enjoy a few of their favorites.”
Xavier Mendoza, manager of Pig & A Jelly Jar on Historic 25th Street, said everything is made from scratch with premium ingredients at the “Southern comfort food with a modern twist” restaurant.
“This is our first year being able to participate in Ogden Restaurant Week and we are really excited about it,” Mendoza said. “Everyone who visits will have some wonderful options. One of our most popular dishes is the pulled pork sandwich. It’s pan seared with barbecue sauce and has a crazy nice taste to it.”
