Sizzle Dining is Back!! Are you ready to help FEED THE KIDS with Blessings in a Backpack SWFL - Sept 8th -- 28th, 2022 Sizzle Dining (Restaurant Week) is a 3-week long, annual, community-driven event that celebrates the culinary landscape in both Lee and Collier Counties by offering prix-fixe meals to local residents and visitors. Held once a year, the event includes 40+ of the best restaurants from Sanibel down to Marco Island and everywhere tasty in-between! Showing support has never been so delicious!! For every Sizzle Dining meal purchased during the three-week event, each participating restaurant will donate $1.00 directly to Blessings in a Backpack SWFL, a local 501c3 charity that feeds food insecure elementary students every weekend during the school year. #DineWithPurpose Each of the participating restaurants will offer a delicious 3-course prix fixe dinner menu for either $32 or $42 (depending on location). Our growing food scene has a lot to celebrate, and this event encourages people to leave their comfort zones and check out new-to-them restaurants, including the independently owned restaurants we need for our food culture to thrive. Sizzle Dining highlights, and strengthens our local destination’s brand and culinary reputation. Attracting tourists to the area increases business for hotels, shopping centers, entertainment, and other local businesses. Everyone benefits from this impact and all the restaurants that participate see increased traffic and many new faces during the event.
