At the end of a week when we’ve posted lots of Facebook fan offers for junk food, here’s a last-minute “Facebook only”special for something that sounds as though it would be healthier, as well as more satisfying and delicious. It comes from proprietor Tami Lax, Executive Chef Derek Rowe and the rest of the folks at Harvest Restaurant, 21 N. Pinckney Street:
“When YOU and THREE other friends join us for our $25 Three-Course James Beard Foundation Fundraising Dinner tonight [Sunday, March 7th] you will enjoy a bottle of 2007 Domaine de Gournier Merlot or 2008 Domaine du Tariquet Sauvignon Blanc ON THE HOUSE! This is a FACEBOOK EXCLUSIVE! Call to make your reservation and mention this special offer. Dinner will be served from 5 p.m. until 10 p.m. We look forward to seeing you this evening. Call (608)255-6075.”
This is a a great price for a dinner at Harvest, where main courses alone start at about $18 and currently range up to $42. The bottle of wine makes it an even sweeter deal.
Of course it’s Oscar night and despite a menu that features beef brisket and homemade licorice gelato, it’s not easy to pull die hard movie fans and celebrity gawkers like Izzy the Intern (who’s already stocked up on Sprecher root beer and Doritios) away from their televisions. You, however, may want to consider abandoning the junk food, recording the Oscars for later viewing, and enjoying some fine dining.
If you can’t attend tonight’s dinner, there are two additional $25 Three-Course James Beard Foundation Fundraising Dinners still on tap: March 14th and March 21st.
