What/Why:
Dine local ... Dine La Grange!

Get ready for ten days of culinary delight during the inaugural La Grange Restaurant Week, Feb 17-26, presented by the La Grange Business Association and sponsored by the Village of La Grange. Inspired by Chicago's own Restaurant Week, the La Grange Restaurant Week aims to bring attention to some of the best local offerings and keep suburban customers close to home while encouraging clients from "The City" to venture out of their comfort zones.

La Grange Restaurant Week 2012 will highlight the diversity of culinary specialties that make for the Village's robust restaurant scene. Chose from over a dozen restaurants featuring their specialties, prix-fixe meals and some event-only specials. Watch chefs' demonstrations, tempt your taste buds with wine or tequila tastings, catch musical performances, and take advantage of children's activities.

Pick up a Dining Passport throughout February at a participating restaurant and get it stamped in four different dining locations. ($20 minimum purchase required, excluding tax and tip.) You'll be eligible to win a trip for two with airfare and hotel to an exciting culinary destination in the US or you could win a weekend for two in Chicago. Get it stamped in at least two restaurants, and you could win dinner in one of your favorite restaurants in La Grange!

LOVE this! I cannot wait!

1/23/2012 Renita "Wait, I have minions?" M. says:

Might be just the excuse we need to go back to Kama... but are the special menus listed anywhere? :)

1/23/2012 Ericka "Haute Dish" A. says:

I saw a couple articles that listed some of the specials and prices, but it wasn't even close to a full list. They just had a preview event for this recently, so they might still be tweaking the menus. I'll keep an eye out and update the info when I can.

1/23/2012 Aimee "Big Ball of Crazy Love" M. says:

according to Kama's FB page, some of the specials they will be serving for RW: lamb tacos, tamarind glazed baby back ribs, bacon-wrapped tandoori shrimp.

Renita--I'm with you on another trip to Kama!

1/23/2012 Ericka "Haute Dish" A. says:

KAMA FTW! Maybe my friend Katy can get in on it, too. I know they offer a decent selection of gluten-free foods.

1/24/2012 Stacey K. says:

Hey Ericka, thanks for the heads up! This is gonna be AWESOME......

1/24/2012 Renita "Wait, I have minions?" M. says:

LAMB TACOS???

OK, sign me up.... :)

1/24/2012 Kyle H. says:

Love La Grange!

1/24/2012 Osiris "Honey Badger" V. says:

They had me at Q BBQ! lol

1/24/2012 Ericka "Haute Dish" A. says:

They just had their preview night on the 17th, so I'm excited to see what the full menus look like. Some restaurants are closely guarding their secret picks. You can also find more information about deals on FB and Twitter for individual businesses.

1/24/2012 Alvina "Divalicious" C. says:

Sounds super yummy--can't wait!

2/3/2012 Cristie "no H" B. says:

love, love, LOVE restaurant week!

2/7/2012 Ericka "Haute Dish" A. says:

The official La Grange Restaurant Week website has been updated a bit and restaurants are slowly unveiling more options for the week (and other specials throughout February!). I've added some of the information under the individual restaurant listings here. I cannot wait!

Also, there will be a UYE (Unofficial Yelp Event) at Kama Indian Bistro on Sunday the 19th.

2/7/2012 Renita "Wait, I have minions?" M. says:

Thanks Ericka -- I'll add the menu info to that other listing :)

2/7/2012 Ericka "Haute Dish" A. says:

This computer hates me, so maybe it didn't actually update. I will check it again this evening and fix it.

2/7/2012 Ericka "Haute Dish" A. says:

OK, the event should be updated now to reflect newer information... Carry on!

2/20/2012 Ericka "Haute Dish" A. says:

Kama Bistro did not disappoint. The spicy lamb tacos are very, very, very spicy even when you order them without Kamikaze (ghost pepper) sauce.

My friend said Santiago's didn't impress her much.

2/20/2012 Renita "Wait, I have minions?" M. says:

I am still dreaming about those tacos. Hurt so good.

So sad I wasn't in town and had to miss! I saw Ericka's food pics and was drooling! Bookmarking Kama Bistro.
