Jaunted

So that's why we’re excited about what we can only hope is a new recession restaurant trend: the two-course, restaurant week-style prix fixe. The first place we've spied it is Rouge, Philadelphia's much-loved Rittenhouse Square bistro. Rogue is offering a new Recession Lunch menu, where you can pick two courses for the low-low price of $16. Considering most of the starters here are around $16 on the regular menu, this one is actually quite the deal.

We won't get too-too excited until we see how many choices there are on the Recession Lunch menu, but Phoodie stopped by and was pretty excited about options like cauliflower soup with allspice sour cream and a smoked salmon BLT. Of course, you can always opt for what made the place famous, the fatty burger topped with caramelized onions and gruyere cheese.
