Prepare your Palates: KC Restaurant Week is almost here!


SAVE the DATES: January 18th through January 27th!
An unparalleled exhibition of Kansas City's finest culinary talents (and award-winning chefs), Kansas City Restaurant Week will offer a variety of mouth-watering foods from top chefs across the metro area, demonstrating why the KC dining scene is among the nation's best - and up until now, one of the best-kept foodie secrets (the Zagat Survey has called Kansas City the No. 1 dining bargain of all the major cities it reviews - I think they are correct!).
The 2013 KC Restaurant Smartphone Application will
guide you through the many culinary options available!
Restaurant Week features an array of restaurant participants so diners can visit old favorites and also try the many new restaurants that have opened recently in the Kansas City metro area. KC Restaurant Week diners order from special prix-fixe menus at participating restaurants. Multi-course lunches are $15 and dinners are $30 - A huge bargain for the level of cuisine beginning offered!
So where to go and what to do? The best way to plan out your week is by downloading the KCRW Smartphone Application for either iPhone or Android!

KCRW Application for
Apple & Android phones
The app is very simple to download and use ... I found the Restaurant List easy to navigate and, to be honest, the best part of the app (My favorites by cuisine will be my next few posts followed by reviews of my visits during restaurant week). Menus are clearly posted for each restaurant (lunch and/or dinner) and I was pleased to see so many of my favorite spots in town participating in KCRW! 
One addition I think is great: The Fan Wall! Under the notion of comments not solicited are rarely listened to the marketing gurus have allowed us foodie folk a chance to voice our opinion digitally and engage others in the discussion! Great idea!
All in all I am really excited to be only a week or so away from my favorite food time of the year!
I'd love to know what you think about the application, it's design and ease of use as well as what you are excited to try the week of January 18 to 27 for the 2013 Kansas City Restaurant Week!

Here's to good eats KC and to preparing your palates for another great Kansas City Restaurant Weeks ... now just a few days away!
Cheers,
