Mission

The mission of the OC Restaurant Association is to promote the restaurant industry as a whole in Orange County. To spotlight Orange County as a premier dining destination. 

The Importance of Countywide

When visitors come to Orange County it is important to realize that they go to many of our cities. A visitor sees us simply as the OC, they visit Disneyland in Anaheim, Knott's in Buena Park, South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, The Mission in San Juan and our beach cities. They dine everywhere in the County. Locals are really not that different, we all have our favorite eatery a block or two from our house. But when we dine out on weekends, special occasions, dates or whenever we desire our city lines disappear.

The fact is we are stronger as a whole. The dining scene in LA and New York are often referred to as Culinary Hot Spots, you never hear about these locations dividing and neither should we. Our vision is to reaffirm Orange County's place in the culinary world and the best way to accomplish that is joined together as a community.
