Dining Out Sustainably: Fall 2010 Austin Restaurant Week

Fall is in the air (didn't you see the thermometer drop under 100 degrees?) and it's time again for Austin Restaurant Week (ARW).  For the next two weeks some of Austin's finest restaurants offer special prix fixe menus (usually three courses) for the bargain basement prices of $10-$15 for lunch and $25-$35 for dinner.



I'm delighted that several of the restaurants are working with local farms. The following list includes participating restaurants who source locally with a link to their Austin Restaurant Week page and an Austin Farm to Table profile, if available.

The Fall round of ARW runs Sunday through Wednesday September 19-September 22 and September 26-September 29.  I highly recommend making reservations as many of these restaurants will book up quickly.
