What’s not to like?  Great Santa Fe restaurants offering their finest fare for $25/head?  It was a great week, with many restaurants seeing traffic they’ve never seen outside the peak summer season.  Lots of people tried out new places, and new foods, too.  All in all a superb piece of work, and kudos to all involved. The Santa Fe New Mexican had a good wrap-up story on the week today.

“People who hadn’t been to Pranzo in five or six years said, ‘Oh, I didn’t know you were that good,’ ” said Michael O’Reilly, owner of Pranzo Italian Grill. “A lot of people had stopped coming in and this was a chance to get them back.”
