Kenosha to host first Restaurant Week

As we gear up for the start of Chicago Restaurant Week, I was excited to see that Kenosha is starting a restaurant week of their own. So, once you've explored some of the great eateries in Chicago over the next two weeks, consider hopping over the border to check out restaurant week in Kenosha. I definitely recommend Franks Diner...and the garbage plate! Here's all the details:
