Richmond Restaurant Week

Make sure to check out Richmond Restaurant Week. Get three course meals in many local Richmond restaurants for $25.08 a person. Let's hope at least a few restaurants let their food cost slip a little bit for a good cause and serve up some good food.

Looking at the menus I'm leaning towards Six Burner with:

First Course: celery root soup, duck confit and root vegetable salad or roasted beets, blue cheese, truffle puree with toasted hazelnuts;
Second Course: salmon, skate, duck confit with mascarpone polenta or beef cheeks;
Third Course: hot chocolate panna cotta or foie gras and almond pound cake.

Most of the menus sounds tasty though. Let's see if they can come through. I really need to write a bad restaurant review.

The worst looking menu award goes to Caliente. I've never been impressed with the food there and this menu is not helping:

First Course: soup of the day, chili, New Orleans clam chowder, garden salad or buffalo gator bites;
Second Course: island breeze chicken, shrimp and grits, red beans and rice or pasta poblano;
Third Course: pina colada bread pudding or key lime pie.

Definitely check out the Menus on Richmond.com.
