Stir Crazy.

Madison.

They're calling it Stir Crazy. Following in the footsteps of other, bigger cities around the nation - originally San Diego, but also including Chicago and New York City, among others - Madison has decided to have its own restaurant week.¹

It works like this: A group of restaurants offer up three-course prix fixe menus to best show themselves off for one set price: $25. The details vary a bit between each restaurant - while Harvest's offering is what you'd expect restaurant week to be about, even the Nitty Gritty's gotten in on the act by putting together a special two-person menu. A $25 burger seems like a stretch, even if it is made with Fountain Prairie beef, but I'm glad to see that the Madison Originals are putting forth every effort to make this an all-around success.
