This year, we’re introducing NOW SERVING - a Restaurant Week by Epicurean!

“What is this?”
Simply put, it’s a two-week-long celebration of locally owned restaurants in and around Indianapolis! We’ll be kicking things off August 24–September 6.

“Heeeey… this sounds a lot like another restaurant week.”
You’re right, it does. And that’s very intentional. 😏

Let us explain….
Epicurean Indy is a nonprofit culinary platform elevating Indy’s food culture by centering the voices, stories, and traditions of immigrant and minority chefs. We’re run primarily by volunteers, many of whom have worked in the restaurant industry ourselves.

We’ve participated in that other restaurant week, and we believe the experience can be more accessible and more beneficial to local restaurants. That’s what we’re aiming to create.

“How much does it cost to participate?”
Nothing.

Did you know that other restaurant weeks charge hundreds to thousands of dollars to be on the list of participating businesses? And there is no guarantee that they will make their money back with increased sales.

We are celebrating and promoting local restaurants without asking them to take that risk.

Participation is completely free.

“Do I have to be a minority-owned business to participate?”
Nope.

We simply ask that participating restaurants believe everyone deserves a seat at the table, regardless of where they’re from.

“What restaurants are on the list?”
We’re currently signing up participants! Should your restaurant be on the list?
