From the editor
I am so excited for Culinaria’s Restaurant Weeks. If you have champagne taste on a beer budget (like I do), I highly encourage y’all to go out to one or more of these restaurants over the next few weeks. This is a great opportunity to try out those eateries that might be out of your price range and it’s for a great cause.

One year during Restaurant Weeks, my best friend from college and I went to Morton’s Steakhouse downtown and we balled out. It was such a fun experience and the food was amazing.
