IMGoph, I plan on patronizing the restaurants- just want to make sure that people know how relatively inexpensive it can be to make a difference for people in need.

Uh... that's not really a conundrum at all. Restaurant Week coattail-riding marketing ploy versus... helping out a family that's in need right now. Thanks for the suggestion, no_more_caffeine!

but patronizing these restaurants may help keep people who work there employed. quite a conundrum...just guess we should spend as much as we can, eh? was george bush right??!?? in a moment of crisis, should we shop and spend? my brain hurts today.

$28 donated to Bread for the City (http://www.breadforthecity.org/) will provide a DC area family with a Thanksgiving meal. Something to think about.
