Are you ready for 22 days of discounted dinners in metro Detroit? Troy, Royal Oak, and Detroit Restaurant Weeks are all overlapping this spring.

And I’m wondering if it’s too much all at the same time?

The Details:

• Troy Restaurant Week – March 20 through March 25. Lunch is $15 and dinner is $25 or $35 depending on the establishment.

• Royal Oak Restaurant Week – March 25 through April 2. Three-course meal is either $15 or $25 depending on the establishment.

• Detroit Restaurant Week – April 1 through April 10. Three-course meal for $28.

So, which cities are going to be the winners and losers in the restaurant week spring schedule?

The always-popular Detroit Restaurant Week will still shine and is going to capture the most buzz. People have been talking about it for months and have already made reservations.

Royal Oak, the new kid on the restaurant week block, will also do well. The residents of Royal Oak and surrounding communities will come out to support and to try a new eatery or two. They may stumble a bit because it’s their first time out but they’ll work it out.

Troy Restaurant Week, which has already started, is going to be the loser in this food marathon. There hasn’t been much chatter about it and it has the potentially highest price point.

Restaurant week devotees, yes they exist, are going to hold out and spend their food dollars in either Royal Oak or Detroit.

That’s my take, anyway. What’s yours?
