Everybody loves eating out. But let\u2019s be real \u2014 it\u2019s not as affordable as it once was. Foodies, take heart. There\u2019s a light \u2014 and a bite \u2014 at the end of the tunnel. Restaurants all over Broward are making sure you\u2019ll get a lot more bang for your buck.<\/p>\n
Hungry for tasty food deals in Broward? They don\u2019t come any sweeter than the offerings in Dine Out Lauderdale.<\/p>\n
Stacy Ritter: \u201cDine Out Lauderdale is two months of the year, Aug. 1 through Sept. 30, when Visit Lauderdale does promotions for the various restaurants throughout Broward County for the residents and visitors.\u201d<\/p>\n
All the eateries are hitting that sweet spot, monetarily speaking.<\/p>\n
Stacy Ritter: \u201cIt\u2019s a three-course prix fixe dinner or lunch: $35, $45, $65, or premiere $75 per person.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Michelin-recommended Daniel\u2019s, A Florida Steakhouse is one of the Fort Lauderdale restaurants in the mix.<\/p>\n
Kassidy Angelo: \u201cSomething that we really strive for, along with the other great restaurants that have been recognized, is just offering great quality ingredients to your guests.\u201d<\/p>\n
They\u2019ll work their magic on a number of Dine Out dishes.<\/p>\n
Kassidy Angelo: \u201cSome of our highlights are the basil Caesar salad, which is a fan favorite. We\u2019ll be doing a strawberry gazpacho, which is a summer special that we do at Daniel\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n
The entree choices represent Daniel\u2019s at its best.<\/p>\n
Kassidy Angelo: \u201cAnd then, we\u2019ll also be featuring our Florida snapper, which we have on our menu throughout the year and our prime filet.\u201d<\/p>\n
The third \u2014 and let\u2019s face it, the most important course \u2014 is the home-made soft-serve ice cream.<\/p>\n
Hitting Daniel\u2019s for this terrific threesome is a guarantee of goodness.<\/p>\n
Kassidy Angelo: \u201cI think our Dine Out menu offers a great representation of what we do at Daniel\u2019s daily for a first-time guest or a repeat guest.\u201d<\/p>\n
At MAASS inside the Four Seasons Fort Lauderdale, the \u201cChef\u2019s Counter\u201d has snagged a Michelin star.<\/p>\n
In the main room, the star of the show is definitely the Dine Out menu.<\/p>\n
Chef David Brito: \u201cIt\u2019s great for the summer, it\u2019s great for us to kinda showcase what\u2019s in season in the summer and allow us to capture a lot more guests.\u201d<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll be captured by what comes out of the kitchen.<\/p>\n
Chef David Brito: \u201cWe have like a burrata salad that showcases apples in multiple different ways and we\u2019re also showcasing our brioche stuffed chicken. And we love showcasing Japanese wagyu, so that\u2019ll be a supplement for the chicken if you don\u2019t want to enjoy the chicken.\u201d<\/p>\n
Your dinner\u2019s happy ending comes at you ice cold.<\/p>\n
Chef David Brito: \u201cAnd then finishing on a Japanese shaved ice. So we\u2019re just shaving ice over chocolate and hazelnut, that\u2019ll be the main dessert.\u201d<\/p>\n
The price may be fixed, but the Dine Out dishes at MAASS aren\u2019t written in stone.<\/p>\n
Chef David Brito: \u201cWhether we\u2019re doing brioche stuffed chicken today, we might do a nice roasted pork on the bone in a week or so, or maybe we\u2019ll do a dry aged fish from Japan. We\u2019ll always rotate the protein just to keep it fresh for us in the kitchen and also for the guests who are coming in to enjoy it.\u201d<\/p>\n
