I really hope you haven't put off doing Restaurant Week until today. I hope you've enjoyed at least one menu item already and helped out Big Brothers Big Sisters in the process.
But in case you have put it off, know that it's not too late. You still have Friday evening and you just might be out at one of the participating restaurants anyway, so if that's the case then order the Restaurant Week choice. Then on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., there's the Restaurant Week Festival at Knox Hall in the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame. Tickets for the catered lunchtime party are $10 and kids get in free.
To encourage you further, I'm going to list the restaurants and items once more. Remember, it's easy to participate. Just go to a Restaurant Week restaurant and order the Restaurant Week item. Big Brothers Big Sisters gets $2 from your check. Boom.
