Forget those New Year's resolutions, put on your stretchy pants and head downtown — it's time once again for Ann Arbor's Restaurant Week. This twice-yearly phenomenon, coordinated by the Ann Arbor Main Street Association, runs from Jan. 15 - 20.

A total of 49 participating restaurants will be offering $12 two-course lunch and $25 three-course dinner prix fix menus designed to entice area diners to sample all that our local food scene has to offer.

The big news this year is that more restaurants are participating than ever before, including a few new additions outside of the downtown area: Gandy Dancer, Passport Lounge, Satchel's BBQ and Graham's Restaurant.

Twenty of the participating restaurants are offering "two-fer" deals, stretching your dollar even further. You can find information on menus and pricing on the Restaurant Week website, but remember to make your reservations directly with your restaurant of choice. And do it soon — tables fill up quickly during this event.

You need to get a loan to pay the bill at most places.

I have noticed that, wherever I've lived, Chinese restaurants NEVER (or almost never) participate in these promotions. It's very noticeable, inexplicable and in a way, insulting. Could it be because their menus never change and that everyone knows exactly what to expect? Does anyone have an explanation? As any restaurant-goer knows, it's not as if they don't need the business.
