Feb. 16--Chicago Restaurant Week ended Thursday -- or did it?
As has been the case nearly every year of Chicago Restaurant Week's eight-year history, some restaurants are extending their discount lunch (three courses, $22) and dinner (three or four courses, $33 or $44) past the official end date.
Some restaurants are are offering their Restaurant Week menus through the end of the month. But more than 30 restaurants are extending. Why? Because CRW drives traffic, even (or maybe especially) during unkind weather conditions.
The catch: ChooseChicago's Restaurant Week page, which lists participants and menus and provides one-click reservation links, goes dark Friday morning, and isn't updated with extended-deal information. The only place you'll find that info is (blush) here.
