What’s for dinner? It’s an age old question usually followed by several different options, the total number being some sort of multiple of the people within earshot of the questioner.

This week, try something a little different. Try keeping it local.

March 6th through 10th is the inaugural Restaurant Week in Wichita Falls, so try one of our great, local dining establishments. You know; the restaurants and bistros owned and operated by your friends and neighbors and not run out of some corporate office on the east or west coast. Who knows, you might even find your new favorite place to eat.
