Monday, August 8, 2011 at 10:00PM | Becks Davis It’s that time of year again. Yep, you can’t swing a cat without hitting a restaurant week in the Detroit area over the next few months.
Here’s a quick low-down on the dates for upcoming restaurant weeks in the metro Detroit area.

Detroit Restaurant Week started in 2009 and this will be the fifth installment. Last spring 18 establishments participated.
From the responses I’ve heard in the past, people either love the restaurant week concept or hate it. The complaints usually are that you receive smaller portions and possibly not the best quality because of the sheer volume.
Others, though, love it and make several reservations each season.
Which camp do you fall in? Are you a lover or hater of restaurant weeks? Which cities’ installment will you participate in?
