Hey foodies! We have two questions for you…What exactly is a persimmon, and how could it make for a great weekend in Santa Monica?
Santa Monica Restaurant Week
If you don’t know the answer to either of these questions, that’s okay. I myself had to look up exactly what a persimmon was (it’s an edible fruit that resembles a large, yellow tomato and has a sweet flesh. You’re welcome). If you are interested in this cheeky tomato doppelganger, this weekend is the time to try it out. The Santa Monica Restaurant Week has made the persimmon the central ingredient, and this weekend marks the final few days for great deals.
Today through Sunday, you can experience some of the best food Santa Monica has to offer – all with their own fun take on the persimmon. The other challenge? It has to be (semi) healthy. #NewYearNewYou – right? This year also offers the chance for participants to win a $500 dining gift certificate. For the chance to win all you have to do is share your experience on Twitter or Facebook using the hashtag #SMRestaurantWeek. It’s the perfect way to find your favorite spot and win a little cash to go back again… and again. With over 25 restaurants participating, there’s plenty to eat and something on the menu for every budget.
