It's not too early to make dinner reservations for the week long "Dine Original" event to be held Sunday, Nov 29 through Saturday, Dec 5, hosted by the St. Louis Originals, a 38-member restaurant group whose mission is to raise awareness of the importance and ramifications of dining locally.
St. Louis Originals' Restaurant Week is similar to Downtown Restaurant Week, where participating restaurants offer a 3-course meal for $25, but it goes one step further. Diners who have joined the Original's "Rewards" program earn double points during that week, good for future dining discounts (rewards cards are free and available at member restaurants). For more details on the Originals, the Rewards program, and the list of participating restaurants, click here.
"Dine Original" is an economical way to visit that place you've "been meaning to try" or revisit that tried and true standby that you've otherwise been neglecting. In any case, you are supporting "the locals," which is never a bad thing. -- George Mahe
