Back in March of 2009, when our blog was only a couple weeks old, we were caught off guard by Local Restaurant Week and ended up scrambling to visit 2 restaurants at the last minute (Tempo and Black & Blue).  When September of 2009 rolled around with 2009′s Fall Restaurant Week, I thought we were [...]

UPDATE: Captain Jack’s has closed since we wrote our review. By the time I first found out about Captain Jack’s, it was too late.  They had posted a “Gone Fishin’” sign on their door and the windows had been covered in brown paper.  To say I was heartbroken would be a stretch but I was [...]

Just a reminder for everyone out there, this upcoming week (March 8th-March 14th) will be Local Restaurant week, meaning you can eat at literally hundreds of places while saving some serious cash.  Every one of their participating restaurants will have a special meal for $20.10 a person (some may even have meals for 2 for [...]
