Break The Chain
EAT LOCAL

Support the heartbeat of Central Florida's culinary community.

Every meal is a choice. Make yours matter.

When you dine at a locally owned, independent restaurant, you are doing more than just enjoying a delicious dish — you are investing in your neighborhood, supporting dreams, and helping our Central Florida community thrive.

RAPCF’s Break The Chain, Eat Local campaign is your guide to discovering, celebrating, and supporting the incredible independent restaurants and businesses that make our region so unique. From chef-driven kitchens to boutique shops and craft bars, we invite you to skip the chains and choose local.

Why Eay Local?

💼 Local Restaurants Create Jobs – Independent eateries are major local employers.

💸 More Money Stays Local – $68 of every $100 spent locally stays in our community (vs. $43 at chains).

👩‍🍳 You Support Real People – From chefs and servers to suppliers and cleaners, your support uplifts neighbors.

🌎 Better for the Environment – Local businesses source more locally, reducing transport emissions.
