Can you smell that? It's the sweet and warm aroma of a three-course meal being brought out to you for the cost of just one course. That's right; it's Restaurant Week season again, and we've rounded up the best five in the coming weeks. Most are already open to booking, so text your friends to see when they're free and then get on it:

· Chicago, IL: February 18-27. The only other US restaurant week with the potential to really rival New York's is Chicago Restaurant Week. Chicago is such a foodie town, and with three-course meals for $22 (lunch), $33 or $44 (dinners), you can bet that the city will trek out in the cold snow for a warm meal at some of the city's best eateries. We've already recommended our favorite five here, just to get you started. Only keep in mind that, because of winter weather delays, if you're flying in for it to schedule your meals the day after you're due to arrive. Reservations are open—more info here.

· Sonoma County, CA: February 21 - 27. Californians who work real office jobs and can't just take off over lunch for a meal will be happy to hear that Sonoma Country's Restaurant Week consists solely of dinners. There's three price tiers, depending on what restaurant you choose: $19, $29 or $39. Take a drive, and enjoy a meal at restaurants like Santé at the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn, Corks at Russian River Vineyards and the Applewood Inn. Grab reservations and see more info here.

· Denver, CO: February 26 - March 11. Sure it starts a bit later in the month, but we're including it in the February list because it looks like reservations are already open. Denver has a different system for their meal prices, and it goes like this: three-course dinners are $52.80 for two or $26.40 for one. No lunches, and no tiered dinner prices; just an easy price per person. For some reason, the long list of participating restaurants even includes the Hard Rock Cafe, although we'd recommend steering a more upscale, like the Oceanaire Seafood Room or EDGE at the Four Seasons. Check out more info here.

· New York City: Now through February 27. It was supposed to come to an end this last weekend, but like we told you yesterday, another 21 days were added on for the benefit of locals and tourists alike, who pack the city's top restaurants for three-course $24.07 lunches and $35 dinners. You can take it a bit easier now, knowing there's still three more weeks of good eats, but get you reservations in ASAP. See more info and make those resys here.
