Fork, Corks & Kegs
Restaurant Week Scheduled for Oct 15-21
Story by Kass Fincher
You don’t have to be a self-avowed foodie to enjoy sampling some of the creative dishes our area’s chefs will come up with during the inaugural 2018 Restaurant Week, an event of the Southport-Oak Island Chamber of Commerce. Dubbed “Forks, Corks and Kegs,” this fun event will take place October 15-21 this year.

Restaurant weeks are very popular, because they give chefs an opportunity to diverge from their usual menu and offer new dishes for patrons to try. In addition to special menu items, the restaurants will have special price points as well as prix-fixe options – multiple course choices at a special price point.
The Chamber picked this week since it is usually a slower time of year for our restaurants, and with the extra promotion the organization hopes this will enable our restaurants to pick up some additional business. The week is also sponsored by Southport Magazine, Oak Island Accommodations, Margaret Rudd and Associates, Inc.,REALTORS and The State Port Pilot.
Here are the participating restaurants:
Bella Cucina, Blue Cow Grille, Dry Street Pub & Pizza, Fish House Restaurant, Mr P’s Bistro, Ports of Call Bistro, Shagger Jacks of Oak Island, Southport Cheese Shoppe, Southport Smoke House, The Grape & Ale, Tropical Smoothie Cafe’, &
Uncorked by the Sea.

Restaurant-goers need do nothing other than check out the menus and go sample the offerings. Menus will be available closer to the event.
