San Diego—The 2011 gastronomy season kicks off on January 16th and lasts through the 21st. It is the seventh annual San Diego Restaurant Week and is one of our favorite hometown events. This year, over 180 restaurants and their chefs will show off three course, fixed price menus in the $20, $30 and $40 categories. Originally launched to spotlight San Diego as a dining destination, it has grown into a twice a year occurrence for food lovers.
