CESAR® Restaurant Weekend Returns to Celebrate Culinary Delights with Your Pups

CESAR® Restaurant Weekend: A Culinary Adventure for Pets and Their Parents

CESAR® Canine Cuisine, a proud member of the Mars family, is thrilled to announce the expansion of its much-loved CESAR Restaurant Weekend. This year's event is more exciting than ever, taking place over two weekends across four vibrant U.S. cities: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Nashville. This initiative aims to deepen the bond between pet parents and their furry companions through shared dining experiences.

Following the overwhelming success of its inaugural year, CESAR Restaurant Weekend comes back with an enticing lineup that invites dogs and their owners to enjoy delicious meals together. Scheduled for July 12-13 in New York and Los Angeles, and July 19-20 in Nashville and Chicago, this event is tailored to celebrate summer dining with pets.

During this special weekend, participants can delight in a thoughtfully curated menu at partner restaurants, including City Winery and Yardbird. These venues are known for their pet-friendly policies and will provide an exceptional dining experience where humans can savor gourmet dishes such as steak, while their canine companions can enjoy CESAR’s Filet Mignon Flavor Mini-Pouch.

Moreover, attending pups can look forward to unique surprises, including custom 'doggy bags' filled with fun goodies and special accommodations like leash hooks on tables. The experience doesn’t just stop at dining; diners will have the chance to make lasting memories through shared moments and interactions, including VIP tableside belly rubs for their four-legged friends.

Jean-Paul Jansen, Chief Marketing Officer of Mars Pet Nutrition North America, expressed the essence of this initiative: “Our pets are cherished members of the family, and sharing mealtime is one of the many ways we make meaningful and real connections with them.” This event is more than just a culinary celebration; it embodies the idea of creating a more dog-friendly world where pets are included in significant life moments.

Another notable feature of CESAR Restaurant Weekend this year is its partnership with Tripadvisor, emphasizing a shared goal in promoting pet-friendly travel and dining experiences. As part of the collaboration, Tripadvisor has curated a robust resource for pet owners, helping them uncover the best spots to eat, stay, and play with their furry friends. This includes using an innovative AI Trip Builder and exclusive city guides that highlight pet-friendly locations certified as BETTER CITIES FOR PETS™.

With the excitement around CESAR Restaurant Weekend rising, it presents a perfect opportunity for pet parents to treat their dogs to a delightful culinary adventure. The event not only showcases the joys of dining together but also celebrates the companionship and connections that food can foster between pets and their owners.
