Beginning next week, fourteen downtown South Bend restaurants will participate in a two-week special many have come to know as Restaurant Week.
In its 10th year, Restaurant Week was created by the Downtown Dining Association and Downtown South Bend, Inc. as a way for restaurants to collaborate with one another and to entice customers to come to downtown South Bend and try locally-owned restaurants that they normally would not. The hope, then, is to create an impression with guests that will bring them back often. Restaurants create specialty menus for the event that are priced at $11, $22 or $33.
Lauren Barry was nervous people would forget about her.
The owner of The Elder Bread, known for its breads and doughnuts, had closed operations at LangLab earlier this year along with Violet Sky Chocolates owner Hans Westerink and Mandy Krause of pastry business Love and Macarons. The group of entrepreneurs said they hit an impasse with the High Street building owners and decided it was time to go in their own direction, creating a brief lapse of when customers could regularly access their goods.
But people didn’t forget, with many regulars asking of plans and updates on where and when to get their favorite bread, chocolate and macarons.

Three months after their groundbreaking, the finished tiny houses, at 907 and 907 ½ Portage Ave., went on display for the public Saturday during a showcase organized by the Home Builders Association of St. Joseph Valley.
Gary and Diane Jenslow, of South Bend, stopped by the event because they had seen tiny houses on HGTV, but not in real life.
âThereâs not too many of these in the area,â Gary said, âso we wanted to see what a 600-square-foot house looks like on the inside.â
The Jenslows said the house was too small to live in full time but could work well as a vacation home or rental. They also thought the efficient layout made it seem bigger than they imagined.
