Jasmine – I would definitely be down for a Veggie Week, too. We’re always looking for good (interesting, creative, tasty) vegetarian and vegan dishes around town. ESPECIALLY in winter, when local veggies are at their least exciting.

Meat Week could more accurately be called ‘Barbecue Week,’ but we’re just participating as a local chapter of a national event…we didn’t invent it. And as far as I’m concerned, good barbecue is something that’s almost as scarce as good vegetarian food in the DC area.

i kind of feel like every week is meat week in dc. every menu has multiple meat options, 365 days a year. does meat really need its own week, especially when restaurants aren’t doing anything other than their normal service?

now, if we were trying new and unusual vegetarian dishes for a week…sign me up.

Thanks for the shout-out, Katie.

Just a couple of quick clarifications:

With the exception of the Pork Barrel event on Wednesday, Meat Week is independent of all of the venues. We’re planning to give them a heads up so they don’t get surprised when people show up and reference Meat Week, but I don’t think any of them are planning anything other than their normal service.

Also, Tim Carman’s post about Urban is from last year…it’s what turned me on to Meat Week in the first place. We’re hitting Urban on Sunday night as the first venue for this year’s Meat Week, but I don’t know whether Tim will be attending or not.
