LHG Test Kitchen Week's is Back for Seconds

The 2nd Annual LHG Test Kitchen Week, a celebration of culinary creativity, takes place from January 20 – 26, 2023. The event invites culinary staffs to come up with new and unique entrees, drinks, and desserts. Partaking guests are then encouraged to rate and give feedback on their items at LHGTestKitchenWeek.com, which is then shared with restaurant owners.

“In 2022, as restaurants were struggling during the pandemic, we wanted to come up with a unique way to promote our restaurants,” stated Dan Mulka, Executive Director of the Heritage Corridor Business Alliance and creator of LHG Test Kitchen Week. “The event was such a hit, both with customers and our restaurant teams, that we knew that Year 2 (2023) must happen. And our restaurants have come up with some amazing recipes that I can’t wait to try.”
