CESAR® Canine Cuisine, proudly part of the Mars family of brands, is announcing the return – and expansion – of CESAR Restaurant Weekend, allowing even more pet parents to dine with their dogs. Because the best life is a shared life, especially when it comes to sharing meals, memories and moments that deepen the connection between pets and pet parents.
Back by popular demand following its inaugural year, CESAR Restaurant Weekend is growing its pawprint across top foodie destinations including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Nashville. In partnership with national pet-friendly restaurants City Winery and Yardbird, the CESAR brand is giving diners a destination to celebrate summer patio season with a shared experience that honors the unique bond they have with their pets.
Diners will be treated to a curated experience featuring dishes from the restaurant for pet parents, that pair with CESAR Canine Cuisine offerings for their pups, such as a delicious steak for pet parents and CESAR Filet Mignon Flavor Mini-Pouch for their culinary canines. Four-legged guests will also be treated to fun surprises, including "doggy bags" of swag (while supplies last), as well as custom amenities like leash hooks on tables and VIP tableside belly rubs.
"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," said Jean-Paul Jansen, Chief Marketing Officer, Mars Pet Nutrition North America. "The return and expansion of CESAR Restaurant Weekend is about more than just a great meal — it's about celebrating the special bond between pets and their pet parents. It's a meaningful step in the CESAR brand's mission to help make the world a more dog-friendly place, where our four-legged friends are welcomed and included in life's most memorable moments."
