Participating Restaurants

During the Great Stockton Asparagus Dine Out (GSADO), we invite all local foodies and families to dine out in Stockton at participating restaurants. These restaurants will feature special asparagus-related menu items prepared with locally grown asparagus! After the success of our annual Stockton Restaurant Week, we created the GSADO to showcase locally grown asparagus and its use in local cuisine! Farm-to-Fork and Eat Locally Grown campaigns highlight the importance of eating fresh, locally grown produce. Local growers work with local restaurants to provide the freshest locally grown asparagus to their kitchens. Our famous locally grown spear will be featured in appetizers, entrĂŠes, desserts and drinks throughout Stockton!

2012 was the inaugural year for Stockton Beer Week; an event created to increase spending in Stockton bars and restaurants, while supporting our local craft beer industry. Participating establishments worked closely with beer distributors, educators, chefs, farms and business associations to create multiple beer tastings, beer dinners, brewing education sessions and various other special events within their venues.
