Restaurant Week's Here, Bitches!

As you probably all know, there is nothing that I love more than food, generally speaking. Not even shoes. I mean I like Stuart Weitzman better than red meat, but if we're speaking in generalities, food always wins. Which is why I'm always attempting and subsequently failing to diet (read on for more about the failing). That is why this is the greatest week of my existence thus far.

Every summer (and sometimes again in the fall/winter, but that seems to happen only when I am out of town), a bunch of delicious and usually expensive restaurants around Charlotte band together and offer 3-4 course $30 fixed menus for a week. This is that glorious week. If you live in Charlotte, go here to sample the offerings. And always make reservations.

This week, I will be eating at the following venues:
Mimosa Grill: You had me at mini grilled cheeses with tomato bisque.
300 East: I can't even decide what sounds the most delicious here. Probably the peanut butter ice cream sandwich.
Black Finn: My frienemy spinach and artichoke dip awaits me.
Sonoma: Combining lobster with both risotto AND mac and cheese makes me sad I can only pick one.

I will say this now, because I don't want to start feeling fat before I even start eating this deliciousness, I will be in Charlotte for the immediate future and will be eating and exercising accordingly aside from this mess. I will repent for my sins this week on the elliptical, and pray that weight maintenance under the circumstances is possible.

Happy Eating!
