I'm so excited that Ann Arbor Restaurant Week is here again. It only happens twice a year, January and June, and I use it as an excuse to try out 1 or 2 restaurants that I haven't been to yet. I'm supporting my local business and getting a great meal, right? This year is no exception and the list of restaurants is astounding. Each Chef creates a special, fixed price menu, with choices for each course. Lunches are $12 and Dinners are $25, with some restaurants even offering 2 for 1 deals.
