Los Angeles restaurateurs are bending over backward to keep us eating out, said Susan LaTempa in the Los Angeles Times. Innumerable “delicious deals” include hidden wine-list gems, competitive happy-hour offerings, off-night discounts, “and just plain value.” Here are four excellent prix fixe dinners now available:
Tracht’s
Suzanne Tracht serves up a three-course menu for $30 from 6 to 10 p.m., Sunday through Wednesday. “To sweeten the deal, bottles of wine are 25 percent off.” 111 E. Ocean Blvd., Long Beach, (562) 499-2533
