Wes Rhea, director of the Stockton Conference and Visitors Bureau, is hoping to build on the success of similar regional events, such as San Francisco's Dine About Town.
"We've seen it be successful in other cities, but it hasn't been replicated in the Central Valley," Rhea said. The goal is to draw diners to local venues, in order to raise awareness about restaurants in the community that might otherwise be overlooked in favor of national chains such as Applebee's and Macaroni Grill.
"The culinary void in Stockton has been filled by chain restaurants, and these chains don't add anything to our sense of community," Davies said. "I say, go local all the way."
