Hungry? It’s Fall Restaurant Week.

You’ll have to pardon me being one day late on getting the word out about Salem’s Fall Restaurant Week.  Now that it’s football season I slave away over the grill or stove all day until game time when I plop down on the couch crack a beer and pig out.  This weeks gastronomic delight was killer bbq ribs with inspiration taken from fellow blogger (soon to be fellow Salemite maybe) The Hungry Mouse and fellow nerd, chef and motorcycle rider Alton Brown.  But I digress back to the show…

Salem Fall Restaurant Week

Twice a year Salem restaurants offer a price fixe menu so we can see what they have to offer and not spend too much cash in the process. It’s a little marketing technique learned from the crack dealers in the 1980′s who gave you free samples because they knew you would be back.  Unfortunately there isn’t a restaurant rehab for us to go to once were hooked.

This week from September 14th to September 18th 2008 (sorry no weekend bonus for you) at participating restaurants Pricing for a three-course dinner is $20.08 (get it? 2008 – the year – clever huh?).  Those restaurants may also offer an additional exclusive $30.08 dinner option.

Many of the restaurants that are in on this deal have been reviewed by us, the others are on our “to-do” list.  Click the links below for a review.  If you take advantage of this deal chime in and let us know what you thought of your experience.
