(PRWEB) March 20, 2015 -- The Great Stockton Asparagus Dine Out (GSADO) is back for its 6th year and set to span the entire month of April! Locally grown asparagus will be showcased at participating restaurants throughout Stockton as they creatively prepare and serve our favorite spear in a variety of dishes, drinks, and desserts. Over 30 restaurants are expected to participate.

“The Great Stockton Asparagus Dine Out was created by Visit Stockton, following the success of Stockton Restaurant Week, to showcase locally grown asparagus and its use in local cuisine,” noted Wes Rhea, CEO of Visit Stockton. “The trend of focusing on local cuisine that utilizes locally grown and sourced ingredients is growing nationwide. GSADO (pronounced “ja-saw-doh”) is here to remind Stocktonians of the rich bounty of local asparagus available fresh from the field, only during this time of year. Look for our famous locally grown spear, which will be featured in appetizers, entrées, desserts, and drinks at participating restaurants throughout Stockton!”
