2nd Annual LHG Test Kitchen Week Showcases the Culinary Creativity of Local Lemont and Homer Glen Restaurants
LEMONT, IL - Five local restaurants are participating in the 2nd Annual LHG Test Kitchen Week, which runs from January 20-26, 2023. Participating restaurants in the Lemont and Homer Glen (IL) area were tasked with coming up with unique dishes, drinks and desserts that customers will be able to submit comments and ratings directly to the restaurant owners. Awards will be given to the restaurants with the highest rated dish, drink, dessert, and overall menu.
“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.
