502 Restaurant Week begins today. Seems to have more participation each year...
The $50 per couple places seem like really good deals, which is supposed to be the idea.
...the $50 per person places seem like a sham to me, though. Okay, maybe that's a harsh way to put it, but I'm having trouble seeing the value.
You can eat at most ANY of these places except for maybe Morton's or Oakroom for under $100 -- even with an appetizer & dessert & a glass of wine in most cases ----> and have the ENTIRE menu at your disposal instead of 3 choices or their pre-set menus.
Don't really see the "value", which is supposed to be what 'restaurant week' is all about, for people to try new places they normally can't justify. At least, that's how it's presented & executed in NYC, Chicago, etc in my experience.
Am I off base here?
