Here are the 2022 dates for DFW Restaurant Week. (Hint: The deals last a month.)
DFW Restaurant Week starts Aug. 8 ...
Hey, Bud! When is Restaurant Week this year?
—A daily question
DFW Restaurant Week, the 25th annual summer dining promotion featuring $39 and $49 dinners to partially benefit Fort Worth and Dallas charities, is Aug. 8-Sept. 4. Get the restaurant list on July 11 and book reservations.
New this year: a $29 brunch and a $99 “signature” dinner, with 20% of all food proceeds donated to either the Lena Pope children’s agency in Fort Worth or to a Dallas food bank. The specials usually include prime steakhouses and most fine-dining restaurants.
... and ends Sept. 4. Book on July 11
Hey, Bud! I thought you said it was Restaurant “Week”?
—Some wiseacre every year
Technically. Restaurant Week is Aug. 8-14, but it’s so popular that some restaurants now extend it through August and Labor Day, at a slow time when they need customers. Some restaurants even start it early with a “preview weekend” Aug. 4-7.
The point is, go out and eat as often as you can because you’re getting a special deal and Lena Pope is getting a donation.

Hey, Bud! Isn’t there some barbecue event in August?
