Through Sizzle Dining, you are directly supporting young students throughout Collier County by providing them with the nourishment they need for a brighter future.

Why Sizzle Dining Matters

"Sizzle Dining goes beyond offering exquisite dining experiences; it's an opportunity for our community to come together, show support for our local businesses, and boost our economy," said Guy Clarke, founder of Sizzle Dining. "During what would typically be a slower month for local establishments, Sizzle Dining injects over $2 million into our local economy. By dining out, you not only treat yourself to a memorable culinary experience, but also contribute to critical support within the restaurant industry. Your night out actually benefits servers, staff, local vendors, farmers, and food purveyors. Moreover, Sizzle Dining creates a reason for people to gather and enjoy our beautiful region, helping our local businesses and fostering pride in our community."
