There's no better time to enjoy Harford County's many award-winning restaurants than this week.

Harford County Restaurant Week—billed as "The Most Delicious Week of the Year"—began Thursday and runs through June 15.

Participating restaurants—found at the link above—will offer price fixed menus of three-course meals for $20.11 or less.

Customers may fill out a dining card entry form at one of the participating restaurants for a chance to win $1,000 worth of dining. Each participating restaurant donates a $25 gift card to participate in the promotion.

Last year's event was a success for the 40-plus restaurants that participated. Most establishments experienced a 10 to 15 percent increase in customers, according to a release. Olive Tree in Aberdeen was recognized as the busiest restaurant during last year's event.
