For 10 days 117 restaurants from all around the Green Mountain State will offer special fixed-price dinners. There are three set price points — $20, $30 or $40 per person. Some locations will offer lunch and breakfast specials well. The diversity in cuisine and participating restaurants makes it easy for all diners to find something to whet their appetite.
