Santa Monica (Perfect Meal Today) 1/9/18/–Santa Monica Travel & Tourism (SMTT) announced the return of Santa Monica Restaurant Week. This year’s culinary delights will take place January 8-14, 2018 and continue to highlight the city’s of Santa Monica’s eclectic dining scene.
Santa Monica Restaurant Week will help local diners kick off 2018 on a healthy note by utilizing the generous health benefits of this year’s special ingredient – the pomegranate. This will be in conjunction with California Restaurant Month, and to celebrate Santa Monica’s status as a health-conscious culinary destination, more than 30 Santa Monica restaurants will offer specially-crafted dishes, all created to highlight the pomegranate – a ruby-red fruit that is a rich source of Vitamin C and antioxidants that are known to fight cancer, lower blood pressure and improve heart health. Containing 365 seeds, one for each day of year, the pomegranate was revered as a symbol of love for the ancient Greeks and continues this tradition for many international cultures today.
The pomegranate is just one of the many local produce items in season during the winter months and can be found at any of Santa Monica’s four weekly farmers markets.
Diners can enjoy these extensive health benefits while enjoying dishes such as Pomegranate Glazed Hangar Steak Skewers at The Curious Palate, The Bomb Chicken Pome at Bareburger Organic, Smoked Chicken and Pomegranate Salad at The Buffalo Club and Hokkaido Scallop at Sushi Roku.
