It’s officially fall everywhere. I thought I could fight it by wearing sundresses with cardis and boots, embracing the afternoon sun and ignoring the evening chill in Aspen, and generally pretending like it wasn’t happening (denial is what we call that), but this week I’ve slowly come around. I mean, even Austin is admitting it is fall, with the fall installment of Austin Restaurant Week from September 23-26 and September 30-October 3, encouraging the Austin community to ‘Dine Out and Do Good.’
Using a “buy a meal, give a meal” structure, the goal is to provide more than 17,000 meals for the local non-profit organization Meals on Wheels and More. Mouth-watering menu options for a good cause? LOVE it! More than 60 restaurants are expected to offer ARW special menus, including Parkside, Olive & June, Trace, Trio, Papi Tino’s, Paggi House, Backspace, Roaring Fork Stonelake, Sullivan’s Steakhouse and more.
Two and three-course prix-fixe menus are $17 for lunch and $27 or $37 for dinner. Brunch at select locations for $17.
Online reservation site Open Table will also make an additional donation for every reservation made through the Austin Restaurant Week website or using the Austin Restaurant Week mobile app for iphone and Android devices.
What are you waiting for?! This beats Aspen’s prix fixe deals by … oh, $30 or so. 😉
