KC’s Restaurant Week

During 2012 Restaurant Week Jan. 20-29, I had dinner at one well-known Plaza venue, and it was scrumptious. I will return to that spot another time and tell others how good it was.

I also had a Restaurant Week lunch at another Plaza institution. It was awful: an iceberg lettuce salad topped with crumbled bacon and hard-boiled egg and a pasta dish doused with a too-salty brown sauce, a few pieces of beef and some canned mushrooms. I won’t be returning to that locale, and I will probably tell a few people how disappointing my lunch was.

Hooray for Restaurant Week, when local food operations show their true colors. May the best ones win lots of new customers.

Why restaurants participate that offer unimaginative, out-of-date menus and pad their meat entrees with lots of cheap pasta is beyond my understanding.

They should sit out this opportunity for publicity and word-of-mouth recommendations.

Did you let the restaurants know what you thought? Both the good one and the bad one?
