ORANGE COUNTY, Calif., OCTOBER 2011 - The Orange County Restaurant Association has announced the dates for theregion's fastest growing and most anticipated culinary event, Orange County Restaurant Week. The 2012 Orange County Restaurant Week will be held February 26th through March 3rd. The Association has decided to limit the number of participants to 100 restaurants again per year.

 "As we enter our fourth year, we have been able to evaluate past events to determine that quality is priority when it comes to OC's favorite dining event, Orange County Restaurant Week. With that said, producing this event only once a year and limiting the number of restaurants involved, will make this dining celebration more treasured by all who enjoy it and allow the community to come together annually for a grand celebration," commented Pamela Waitt, president of the OC Restaurant Association. "By limiting the event to restaurants who can offer the best menus, we can ensure that diners will be presented with a truly special event with the county’s crème de la crème offering great incentives during this one week. After all, the goal is for everyone involved to have fun!”
