While bargain-minded diners tend to dominate the conversation during OC Restaurant Week (understandably so, as prices continue to soar), the annual ode to Orange County’s culinary landscape also doubles as a chance to splurge a little. Of the 200-plus participating eateries, nearly 50 of them will roll out luxe, multicourse menus that would normally run higher than their fixed-price tags. Lucky you, indeed.
