All Good Things Come to An End

Ahhh, another Charlotte Restaurant Week wraps up and I've packed on a few pounds I'm sure. If your city doesn't have one of these they need to. Demand a city government shutdown if you must!  It's a ridiculous deal, $30 for three courses and sometimes a glass of wine. 

Not only does this deal resuscitate your wallet after expensive vacation dinners, but it boosts the local economy like you wouldn't believe. Yes, some restaurants lose a little bit of money on at first, but the patrons gained far outweigh a $2 or $3 loss off the top. The savings are great for rabid diners like myself because it means I can pack more restaurants in for less dollars spent. This makes my a very happy foodie. 

Over the next few days you'll be getting my reflections on the Charlotte's Summer Restaurant Week 2011. There were some hits, some misses and lots of fanfare. Buckle up Charlotte...
