2010 Restaurant Week starts this Sunday

This Sunday, Sept. 12, marks the kickoff of fall's Center City Restaurant Week. Back is the $20 lunch option at various participating restaurants (Barbuzzo, Butcher and Singer, Lacroix, Le Bec-Fin and Sampan are among the daytime notables) in addition to the usual $35 three-course dinner. Also back this year is the double-your-pleasure Week 2, which will run from Sunday, Sept. 19 to Friday, Sept. 24. Unless you OpenTabled a month ago, you arent probably won't be walking into Amada or Buddakan on a whim, but experience tells us to keep checking OpenTable all the way up to the morning (if not an hour) before your desired dinner time. People often cancel close to their reservation, making openings easy to scoop up. Our attention for this Restaurant Week is focused on the newly opened Barbuzzo (110 S. 13th St.), which we recently featured here on Meal Ticket. Right now they have some solid openings and are offering a bonus fourth course on their Restaurant Week menu (check it out in PDF form here). Team Meal Ticket will be dropping picks for each day of 2010 Restaurant Week. Be sure to check back for the latest dealage, tips and updates.

I hate restaurant week, it really sucks that it is 2 weeks long

Yes this is a reminder not to dine in CC during these two weeks.  The "deals" are of dubious value and the service and cooking tends to suffer.
