Restaurant Week Contest: Best offer during Restaurant Week
Are you guys sick of winning stuff yet? If so, chill out, this is probably the last contest for Restaurant Week. If not, this contest will have five winners. Your odds are good.
Restaurant week ends tomorrow, but that means you have tonight and all day tomorrow to take advantage of some of the Restaurant Week offers over at Dine in Fayetteville. These are the restaurants who decided to participate in restaurant week by offering some sort of discount or prix fix menu to everyone.
There are some great offers over there and whether or not you win a contest, during Restaurant Week everybody wins with these specials.
The question this time is, which restaurant has the best deal/most enticing special menu? Leave a comment voting for the most creative, or most compelling offer, and (maybe) win!
First place gets a $20 gift certificate to Powerhouse seafood. (That’ll get you 3 1/2 Kilowatts, which believe me is plenty.)
Second, third, and fourth place get a free large pizza from Eureka Pizza. And fifth place gets you $10 to Jammin Java on the square. Five winners!
How to enter: Vote for the best offer from a Fayetteville Restaurant on dineinfayetteville.com by leaving a comment.
A few rules (read ‘em carefully):
1. You may only enter this specific contest once. If you enter this contest more than once you’ll be automatically disqualified.
2. This contest is open to anyone anywhere except Fayetteville Flyer writers and their immediate family members.
3. Contest is open until 11:59pm CST on Saturday, February 7th, 2009.
4. Make sure you leave a valid e-mail address when filling out the comment form since that’s how we’ll contact you if you’ve won.
5. You’ll have to provide us with your first and last name, and mailing address if you win. Then, we’ll mail you the gift certificates.

I’m going to go with Daily Lunch Specials for only $5.99 at Emilia’s on this one. That place is really good and I hardly every go there. This must change.

I think the Camille’s deal is the best, two dine for $9.99.
If I only had a frien.
Lenny’s deal sounds cheap and easy too, $5 combo.

That Bordino’s menu for $25 is a fine deal.

I went on a date to Bordino’s with the prix fixe in mind, be we ended up getting app, salad, and entrees of our choosing and it only totaled $52 and change, so I’m going to declare that the Restaurant all-the-time winner for crucial-female-impressing. As for the RW deals, all I’ve gone through with is the free cheese dip at Flying Burrito after which I was totally stuffed. Score.
Hate to negate, but aren’t there only five prizes listed up there? (1: Powerhouse; 2,3,4: Eureka; 5: Java)

Whoa, come on now, I want to win at least one thing. How about no one comment after me, so I’m a shoe in for at least one prize.

Sorry, Kyle. But with all the deals going on this week, we are all winners!
I gotta agree with my pal George and say the $25 Bordino’s menu.
You know who else has great deals? The new Chick Fil A on 6th street.

Sorry, Kyle. Gotta get my name in the hat.
I vote for Emilia’s. Good lunch on the cheap.

I’m picking Powerhouse. The Salmon Rockefellar is too good to pass up.

I have to go with Lenny’s because it’s right across the street from my workplace and the homemade chicken salad is sooooo good. If you haven’t tried yet, you should. :)

yeah, so it ain’t on the list, but I’m moody, along with cheap, and nothing else sounds good right now.

The Bordino’s “Center Stage” is where it’s at–definitely from a cuisine selection standpoint, and perhaps from an economic one, too. I’ll probably find out in about an hour when I get my fine-dining schwerve on.
Let’s break it down:
1) A similar salad with baby spinach instead of mixed greens and added goat cheese croutons would cost $6.75. Goat cheese is delish, so let’s go ahead call the value of this hybrid salad $5.00 instead.
2) The chicken marsala normally costs $22.75 and is totally delicious. The bread pudding is also yumtastic. I’ll go ahead and assume it’s the same portion in the “Center Stage”.
3)The chocolate cake normally costs $6.75. It better be just as big, because this is my favorite part of the meal. This is a real man’s desert. They call it a cake, but it’s really like a dense-ass fudge with a ganash on top. (Cake with flour is for wusses, FYI). It can only be consumed with a HOME_FREAKING_MADE raspberry sauce to offset the richness. Don’t go crying to your momma for a glass of milk. Coffee is acceptable.
4. IDK this wine, but it’s a good variety (Pinot Noir) and has probably been chosen by someone that knows something about wine to compliment the taste of the meal. I figured, however, that pairing a red wine with a chicken dish that has a white wine based sauce was a fine dining faux paus, but I’ll just go ahead and defer to the experts since I mostly pair my ceral, ramen, and sandwiches with Miller High Life. At any rate, any wine will probably give me a buzz, which is rad. This wine is not on the menu, but surely it costs at least $5 a glass.
Math: $5.00 + $22.75 + $6.50 + $5.00 = $39.25 <<<CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE
So even if the portions are smaller or they get a monkey instead of a wait-person to serve them to you, with $39.25 – $25.00 = $14.25 of consumer surplus to work with you’ll probably still come out ahead. What up now, other restaurant offers? That’s what I thought.
PS – If I win a gift certificate, I’ll probably sell it at half it’s face value and use the proceeds to buy as much chocolate ganash with raspberry sauce as possible.
