It's the best tasting week of the year, and we're all invited!
Until Thursday, participating restaurants will be hitting us with specially priced meals that define and distinguish their culinary offerings in the Twin Cities.
Last year, we were blown away by Campiello's porketta style pork shoulder and apple pecan cake during restaurant week.
This year, we're definitely hitting Masa for dinner, as the D'Amico restaurants seem to be offering smoking hot deals.
