My Austin Restaurant Weeks Advice
Go try local restaurants you haven’t had the chance to visit but be sure to compare the normal prices versus the prix fixe meal pricing. I have seen a few places where you might save only a dollar or two. In my experience, when I go out to eat with my fiance, we wouldn’t usually buy two appetizers and two desserts, so after having to buy all of that we aren’t seeing any sort of “special pricing.”
HOWEVER, I absolutely encourage everyone to support their local charities and food banks, so I appreciate seeing that this is in support of the Central Texas Food Bank! So, I would say to still go experience these incredible, local restaurants but maybe compare prices but don’t get fooled by the Prixe Fixe menus, buy their drinks that they claim they’re donating a portion of but then I’d say to send off a personal donation to the CTFB to help with our local hunger issue.
You can donate at the button below! Or if you have the time, donate your time and go VOLUNTEER!
Next week I’ll post about my first Restaurant Weeks experience, stay tuned!
Cheers!
