October is one of my favorite months of the year – football, pumpkins, falling leaves, Halloween – and now Urban Eats! Of course I – The Incredible Chef - would have a favorite dining activity to recommend, so listen up!
Urban Eats is a special dining out program that features 39 Puget Sound region restaurants providing fabulous 3-course dinners for just $30! As they say, it’s a good deal for a great meal, and I’m already trying to figure out how many of them I can visit during the Oct 1-29 promotion (Sunday-Thursday nights).
As a huge proponent of Twitter who actively seeks to help restaurants use Twitter to be the “talk of the town“, I’m listing the Urban Eats restaurants here along with their Twitter accounts. I hope you’ll “tweet” often about your great experiences with each establishment, and let us know how you eat well and spend less!
But I do have to ask – why are only 16 of these 39 restaurants on Twitter?? So if you dine with a non-Twitter restaurant on this list, please do me a favor and ask them why they aren’t using Twitter to make more money and talk with their customers! And then kindly point them in my direction – and let’s keep the regional Twitter foodie scene live and vibrant…bon appetit!

Karen,
You forgot to mention Pumpkin scones at Starbucks and Pumpkin cookies in Pikes Place Market as some of your favorite fall things.
Thanks for all the great info. I’m really enjoying your blog.

Nice write up Karen. Few of our restaurants here in the silicon valley use twitter. Some started but have apparently abandon it shortly after. Ahh the peer pressured restaurant twitterers taking their first drag on social marketing
I can almost hear the sputtering cough.
