2012 marks 15 years for KRLD Restaurant Week!

Not only is Restaurant Week an awesome deal, but it is a great way to give back to the community.

A three course dinner will only run you $35 dollars per person with $7 going to either the North Texas Food Bank or the Lena Pope Home…and new this year there is a three course lunch for only $25 dollars per person with $5 dollars going to one of the two organizations.

I kicked off Restaurant week at lunch today at Central 214. This trendy restaurant is located within Hotel Palomar near the SMU campus. My lunch was amazing!

We were offered a choice of one of four appetizers. I chose the Ceasar Salad.

One of my guests chose the Triple Cooked Fries.

My other guest chose the Dinosaur Kale.

For my main course, I had to try the BBQ Chicken Sandwich….pure heaven.

My two guests had the Hanger Steak Salads.

I had to remind myself about dessert so that I could save some room. One of my guests and I chose the Ugly Pug Chocolate Cake…I thought it was beautiful.

If you would like to try a cocktail as part of your Restaurant Week experience, Central 214 is offering two: the Graham’s Manhattan Jam and the Shiso Passion.

Be sure to check back tomorrow. I’ll recap my lunch at Nosh on Oaklawn as KRLD Restaurant Week continues! Make your reservation today!
