Chow Down Midtown

Inaugural Devour Indy Runs January 23 – February 5, 2017

December 6, 2016 by Naptown Buzz

Almost 200 restaurants in central Indiana will serve three-course, value-priced meals during the inaugural Devour Indy from Monday, Jan. 23 – Sunday, Feb. 5. The city wide dining experience is a combination of previously held restaurant week events – Devour Downtown, Devour Northside and Chow Down Midtown – with eateries on the west, east and south sides of Indianapolis.

The list of participating restaurants and some menus can be found at DevourIndy.com, which also allows diners to search by cuisine type and region. Additional menus will be available as soon as the individual restaurants confirm and post dining options.

The original Indianapolis restaurant week, Devour Downtown, began in 2005 with less than 25 eateries. Originally developed by the Indianapolis Downtown Restaurant and Hospitality Association (IDRHA) in conjunction with the Indiana Restaurant and Lodging Association, the event grew to more than 90 restaurants in 11 years.

With the success of Devour Downtown, eateries across Indianapolis expressed interest in participating in restaurant weeks, which led to Devour Northside (formerly Northside Nights) launching seven years ago and Chow Down Midtown starting six years ago.

Other information available on the website includes hotel and partner deals available during Devour Indy.
