It also provides a fun outing for foodies and families to enjoy the best of the best at local eateries,” said Supervisor Saladino. “Restaurants are vital to our downtowns and crucial to our local economy. Foodie Week gives us the chance to support our favorite restaurants as well as try new ones.”Consistent with well-known New York City standards for similar restaurant promotions, a Long Island Food Critic panel has curated all participating restaurants and evaluates them based on the same set of criteria to help ensure that restaurants are of a similar caliber. Participation in Foodie Week is free of charge for restaurants located in the Town of Oyster Bay. A full list of participating venues and events are listed at www.FoodieWeek.com.Councilwoman Johnson added, “We hope our residents will join us in supporting our local restaurants this October 13 through 20 for Foodie Week. Diners will have a chance to sample the best of the best, without the pressure of purchasing a full three course option or other type of old-fashioned Restaurant Week-style promotion. Foodie Week changes that paradigm by celebrating exceptional handcrafted dishes – from farm to table, dock to dish, and grape to glass offerings. Our local culinarians are excited and ready for the fun that Foodie Week will provide, and we encourage the public to get out and support our local restaurants – the heart and soul of our communities.”Visit www.FoodieWeek.com for more information.</div></body>
