Restaurant Week

It's Restaurant Week here in San Diego, which means that many of our finest restaurants are providing three-course meals at a significant discount. The food still isn't cheap, but it's far more inexpensive than their standard prices; an appetizer, entree, and dessert from a limited menu total either $30 or $40. The participating restaurant list reads like a Who's Who of San Diego fine dining, so it's a great opportunity to try a new place.

Since it started on Sunday, D and I have gone to two of the local participants. It's sometimes difficult for us to choose a candidate...D has a no-seafood/no-stinky-cheese policy that tends to eliminate large portions of the list. We managed to find four or five in the North County Coastal area that would work, though we certainly won't get to all of them before Friday (the last day). Last night we went to Epazote Oceanview Steakhouse in Del Mar and both enjoyed our food choices....the creme brulee was especially delicious.

Anyway...if you're in the San Diego area, take a look. If not, Los Angeles and New York have their own versions, as do many other towns.
