Breaking Away: South of South Restaurant Week
Breaking Away: South of South Restaurant Week
Filed Under: Dealage | Food Events
We had brief mention of a South of South Restaurant Week in the latest installment of Notes from the Weekend, and now a total of 10 restaurants geographically ineligible to take part in all the Center City fun have strung together a formidable prix-fixe alliance, demarcations be damned. (We like to think of this group as the scrappy Cutters cycling team from Breaking Away, beating all those prepped-out, well-to-do university students at their own game.) Spearheaded by Kar Vivekananthan of Adsum, the three-course SoS dealage (prix-fixe prices may vary slightly, from $30 to $35) technically kicked off this past Sunday; just like regular Restaurant Week, this one will run through this Friday and then pick up again from Sept. 19 to 24, though some participants are plowing straight through (and some are doing additional courses and wine/cocktail pairings). After the jump, a full list of participants, plus menus and relevant links. As always, reservations are recommended.
