Some great things can come of the intersection of social media and good old-fashioned shilling. Yelp is leader of the pack when it comes to pulling together great events to engage the user base of locals who supply its content, and this second Yelp Eats Restaurant Week is plenty illustrative of that fact. June 1-June 7, nearly 20 local haunts will offer three course prix fixe dinner menus for just $25 plus drinks, tax and tip. Considering the participating restos include Kinzie Chophouse, Home Bistro, and Nacional 27, restaurants that can run moderate to expensive for a night out, this is a pretty good deal. Details, including the menus on offer, here.
For my money, I’d either choose Home Bistro, which is BYO, or I’d hustle into Kinzie Chop House this weekend, before the Yelp Event begins, because Kinzie is currently running its own Spring Fever dinner prix fixe menu, just $20, through the end of May.
