JAKE DE PAUL: ASADO PRIX FIXE TUESDAY >>>

I think we can agree on one thing: We're all a little tired of deciding.

That's why it's a great time for dining prix fixe- the French term, pronounced pree feeks, for a multi-course meal served for a "fixed price." No more hemming and hawing your way through each section of the menu- just pick the prix fixe and sit back.

There aren't enough paydays to dine at Asado as often as I would like. Their spread of fine South American fare served in a warm orange glow dining room is a treat. Thankfully, Asado launches a new Tuesday night Prix Fixe menu today. You'll find the same stellar service and inventive food ringing it at $25 per person.

Began with an ensalada heirbas or the cold pearl grain salad quinoa. The three middle feature steak medallions with a fig demi-glace or grilled market fresh fish or butternut squash gnocchi. And finally, fried crepe purse with tapioca filling or fried baby banana Fritos or Olympia Mountain creamery ice cream.

So if you'd like to plan a nice meal out but want to keep costs down, Asado has your back every Tuesday.
