FeedEats Week
The countdown is on. Newport Restaurant Week starts Sunday (and runs through the following Sunday) and I'm already poring over the menus online. The whole concept intrigues me. How do restaurants serve food that will wow first-time guests enough to draw them back on a regular week, avoid losing money (they're only charging $16 for three-course lunches and $30 for three-course dinners) and put enough on the plate so big eaters aren't tempted to stop at Mickey D's on the way home? Sounds like a challenge. But restaurants keep signing up (nearly 40 are participating this year) and diners continue to fill tables, so the idea must be mutually beneficial for both.
Of course, not all Restaurant Week menus are created equal. Here are a few that look especially promising: Spark, Tucker's Bistro, Scales & Shells and Trattoria Simpatico.
