It is OFFICIALLY KRLD Restaurant Week in Dallas and Fort Worth area! This is the ultimate foodie event of the year.  Texas Beef Council hosted a preview dinner of Restaurant Week, and I can tell you that you will NOT be disappointed! This is a great time to have a try restaurants that’s prices have intimated you.  Also, many restaurants have items on their menu that are only offered during Restaurant Week, such as Chamberlain’s Duck Confit Spring Rolls. You have to try this!

I also enjoyed an amazing Kobe Sirloin from North Texas’ own Strube Ranch as main course and ended the perfect meal with a Warm Chocolate Center Cake with Blackberry Port Sauce. To say that I was satisfied would be an understatement. Just ask the people who were dining with me. 😉

It’s a perfect time to book summer dining deals at 130 regional hot spots opening up tables, and currently accepting reservations for this special giveback opportunity supporting the North Texas Food Bank and Lena Pope Home the week of August 15-21, 2011. The event continues through September 4, 2011.

The event showcases North Texas’ thriving culinary scene, offers tasty three-course prix fixe dinner combinations priced at only $35/person (tax, tip and drinks billed separately). The icing on the cake is that consumer patronage helps support local fine dining establishments and two great charities – making a $7 donation to either the North Texas Food Bank in Dallas or Lena Pope Homein Fort Worth. Last year they raised over $600,000 for these great organizations.

The TX Beef council provided me with a complimentary dinner and $100 gift card for Restaurant Week in exchange for my attendance and feedback on KRLD Restaurant Week.
