Hey! It’s almost Orange County Restaurant Week

It’s funny, I’ve been doing this site for nearly 2 years, yet I’ve never really mentioned Orange County Restaurant Week.  What is even worse, is that although I’m considered a OC “foodie” I’ve actually never purposely attended a single restaurant that was participating in OCRW.  I did visit PF Chang’s 2 years ago during OCRW but we actually didn’t end up doing their Prix Fixe they had on the menu.  But I think we will try to go to one or two restaurants outside of our normal comfort bubble next week to do our part in participation this year.  Next week starting Feb. 28th through March 6th is the Orange County Restaurant Week.  Restaurants will have $10-20 lunch menus and $20-40 dinner menus.  Meals are typically Prix Fixe style meaning they are set menus with multiple courses, but usually there are a couple different options.  I have yet to decide which restaurants I’m interested in visiting.  Listed below are the participating restaurants this year.
