Fat tonight

So..... that's what Mike said to me yesterday. I quote "you're going to be fat tonight" :) Thankfully he was kidding - but there was some truth in that. After a business lunch at Maggianos and a business dinner at The Briarwood http://www.thebriarwoodinn.com/menu.htm - I ate more than my fill! It was so good though! Lightly crusted sea bass with an orange ginger sauce. Definitely an upscale restaurant with average cost of $100 pp. Unfortunately I've now been there 3 times in 4 months for work functions and well..... it's no longer that special.

From Upscale to No scale..... dinner tonight is at Casa Bonita! It's a Colorado icon - for cliff divers, flame throwers and disgusting mexican food. Ethan will get a great kick out of it. and the best part is that we are going with his Uncle Jeremy - who he adores!! and I get to have a margarita and spend time with good friends.

It's a week for eating out and I get to enjoy Vita http://vitadenver.com/home.html for dinner with my friend Molly tomorrow night.

So apparently I'm writing about food today! The menus have come out for Denver Restaurant week. The premise is that every restaurant offers meals for 2 for $52.80 (5280 being the elevation of Denver). There are special/select menus and usually portions are best if you are going with your girlfriends and not with a "meat and potatoes" man as we have found out in the past. It's a great opportunity to try some more expensive restaurants that you wouldn't normally frequent. I'm sure I'll have a girls dinner (or 2) that week.
