Salt Creek Grille Participates with Edible Jersey's "Eat Drink Local" Restaurant Week

Restaurants across New Jersey, in conjunction with the 5th
anniversary of Edible Jersey magazine, will celebrate fresh-from-the-farm
ingredients later this month by taking part in the inaugural “Eat Drink Local
Week” offering diners a chance to enjoy special, seasonal menus featuring
fresh, local foods from the Garden State.

From June 23 to 30, 38 of the best restaurants in New Jersey
will participate in the statewide event, creating menus that celebrate the
bounty of the Garden State.

“We’ve got lots to celebrate,” said Nancy Brannigan Painter,
publisher of Edible Jersey.“After five years of Edible Jersey, we thought it
was time to have a party for our local heroes, and to thank our wonderful
writers, photographers, advertisers, press and other friends of Edible Jersey.”

“These individuals and organizations selected across six
categories by Edible Jersey readers in an online voting poll, energize New
Jersey’s culinary community in a way that positively redefines what it means to
be the ‘Garden State,’” said Nancy. “We salute their efforts and are proud to
be recognizing them in our magazine and at our event.”


Apart from its role as part of the magazine’s 5th
anniversary this year, Painter sees “Eat Drink Local Week” becoming an annual
celebration of the local foodshed.


“We’ve timed the restaurant week to take place at the start of New Jersey’s peak harvest period.
The hope is that it will draw attention to the importance of bringing local
ingredients from the farm to the table, whether in a restaurant or within one’s
own home.” “Eat Drink Local Week” is also being hosted by neighboring Edible
publications throughout New York and Connecticut from June 23 – 30. Visit
