San Diego Restaurant Week is serving up something new for its Sept. 18-23 run-lunch. The\u00a0county\u2019s largest bi-annual culinary event that for years has offered diners the opportunity to enjoy\u00a0fine restaurants\u00a0at discounted\u00a0prices is expected to grow even more this time around with special mid-day menus. About 180 restaurants\u00a0in San Diego County are participating, offering two-course lunch and three-course pre-fixe dinner menu options. Lunch menus run $10, $15 and $20, while dinner options are $20, $30 or $40, depending on the restaurant. Restaurant Week was started by the California Restaurant Association (CRA) San Diego Chapter, a trade organization that promotes the hospitality industry. Participation in the event has grown \u2014 even during the recession when the industry as a whole took a hit \u2014 with about 140,000 participating in the most recent Restaurant Week in January. The Restaurant Week website offers a search feature to select restaurants by cuisine, neighborhood, meal or price. It also maps venue locations, displays menus and allows diners to submit a reservation online.\u00a0The website also has a promotion to enter to win gift certificates to eat out every weekend for a year. Restaurant Week also coincides with California Wine Month and diners at The Marine Room can experience the state\u2019s\u00a0finest wines\u00a0with pairings arranged by Advanced Sommelier Lisa Redwine. Beau Bo Kitchen + Bar in Point Loma, the Cohn Restaurant Group\u2019s new French project on the site of the former Thee Bungalow,\u00a0will feature moules provencales, goat cheese and roasted beet flatbread, and boeuf bourguignon as their pre-fixe menu selections. This year, some\u00a0proceeds from Restaurant Week\u00a0will go to support local students by raising money for schools to enhance on-site gardens and hospitality programs.\u00a0 Tickets for San Diego Restaurant Week are not necessary, though reservations are recommended as restaurants fill up quickly.
