After gorging yourself with the piles of discounted post-Valentine’s Day sweets scattered across your desk, it’s time to class it up and indulge in style. Get a taste of fine dining at this year’s Chicago Restaurant Week, an annual event in which 200-plus restaurants offer prix fixe menus for as low as $22. With restaurants ranging from Michelin star recipients to casual family-style joints, Restaurant Week provides the perfect opportunity to get your mastication on. Binge on a fancy three or four-course meal at some of Chicago’s swankiest restaurants without waking up the next morning with nothing but a flaccid wallet and a heart full of regret. Only $33 for sautéed foie gras, lobster risotto, and a chocolate soufflé? It won’t replace the dirt cheap goodness of $5 chicken fries, but I’ll take it. Check out the full details after the jump.
