Those of you outside the Bay Area won't care, but San Francisco's Dine About Town will once again happen in January. Throughout the month, you can get a prix fixe lunch ($22) or dinner ($32) at participating restaurants. This is a bit of a crap shoot; some restaurants skimp on their menus. But in the best case, it's a low-risk way to try a new restaurant and get a sense of their cuisine so you can go back later. We've always enjoyed bacar's interpretation of Dine About Town, and so we'll probably go back again. Be sure and mention that you're coming for Dine About Town when you make your reservations; some restaurants like to know in advance and it's a good way to encourage restaurants to continue to participate. And don't forget your Visa card (doesn't that just bring back TV ads from the late '80s?); the idea is that the menu's only available if you pay with Visa, but many restaurants don't seem to press this point.

Melissa's mom (mother-in-law is still odd to type) reminds me that Dine About Town is once again here. Bay Areans make sure to check out the site and take advantage of this opportunity to enjoy some of San Francisco's finest restaurants at discounted...

The other night we had our first dinner as part of the Dine About Town festivities. Basically, a bunch of restaurants have offered 3-course, $30 prix fixe menus for dinners on what would otherwise be slow nights. For many of them, getting a single entrée...
