Arizona Restaurant Week 2010 is undoubtedly one of my favorite time of the year next to Christmastime.  This September 18th to September 26th 2010 you will have the opportunity to eat at some of the finest restaurants in the Valley as well as Tucson for a prix-fixe discounted price for a full three course meal. For the Phoenix area there are $29. pp and $39. pp 3 course meal options, if you see a cute little wine glass next to your pick, your meal will also include a glass of wine!  Tucson eateries have a $19. pp, $29. pp, and $39. pp 3 course options.  Go here for a list of participating Phoenix restaurants and click herefor the list of the Tucson participating restaurants.  This year there are also gluten free options symbolized by a (GF) next to the restaurant.  Reservations for Restaurant Week are highly recommended.  You can always obtain these by calling the restaurant or simply going to Open Table and make your res with a click of the mouse!

It only helps you to fan Arizona Restaurant Week on facebook  and follow them on twitter, as you can get the latest details on participating restaurants as well chances to win gift certificates to attend the restaurant of your choice!!  Foodies Like Us will be the “official” blog of Arizona Restaurant Week, and watch for a guest post by the Food Tramp with them later this month. 

Also, stay tuned to the Food Tramp Diaries as I will be posting my personal reviews of the places I choose to check out for restaurant week.  My hardest decision is always, “where to go” as all of the menus already look excellent.  Being a stay at home mom, living on one income with a growing family, this is always an excellent chance to experience champagne tastes on a beer budget so to speak.
