The founder of Jersey Shore Restaurant Week is Jim Flynn. Since its inception, Restaurant Week has generated an estimated $3-5 million for participating businesses, he said.
"People tell us they dine out 50 percent more during RW than a regular week," said Flynn. "Also, 86 percent of people we polled in the past said they tried a new restaurant during RW.”

The concept started 20 years ago on a road trip to Martha's Vineyard, where Flynn spied a sign that read, "New Haven Restaurant Week."
"It was the first time I had seen a restaurant week for a region outside of a major city,” he explained. "I called my wife to buy the URL and that set us on this path that has made us many new friends and helped the restaurant industry."
The first Jersey Shore Restaurant Week was held in November 2019, with only about 30 restaurants.
"Today, we've reached 110 participants — not as many as we had pre-pandemic — but we are getting closer to that number again," said Flynn this week.
To launch the week-long event, there are several special events coming up:
- Chefs Invitational on April 18, where select Jersey Shore chefs come together to cook up a great dinner at Spring Lake Manor, $60 per person
- The Great Jersey Shore Burger Contest, April 20, where local burger joints compete at Bar Anticipation in Lake Como for the title, $55 per person
- Summer of '24 – A Rosé a Day at the Break in Asbury Park on April 28: Sample roses from the world’s best wine regions paired with meats, cheese and chocolates, $55 per person
