Assuming that St. Louis hasn't melted into a pool of molten steel and Provel before then, the eighth annual Downtown Restaurant Week will run from Monday, August 20, through Sunday, August 26. Surely, you know the drill by now: Twenty downtown restaurants will offer a three-course dinner for $25 per person, tax and tip not included. The restaurants will also collect "Extra Helping" donations to support Operation Food Search.
You can view the participating restaurants' menus on the Downtown Restaurant Week website. As the week approaches, I'll once again provide my analysis of which menus promise the most bang -- or at least the most interesting choices -- for your $25. Page through to see which twenty establishments are participating in Downtown Restaurant Week 2012.
