5 places I want to try during QC Restaurant Week
As of today, I've called the Quad Cities home for one year and seven months.
A fairly decent amount of time, so you'd assume that I've been my fair share of places.
I've checked off a lot, but still have many to get to, which is why I LOVE QC Restaurant Week! It gives me a chance to get out of my comfort zone and try new things - without breaking the bank.
Here are my top 5 places I want to try for QC Restaurant Week (and I'm always taking suggestions)!

Bettendorf, IAI fell in love with brick oven pizza while going to school in the Twin Cities. It's thin crust, but fluffy all at the same time and it also makes you feel like it's a "healthier" option when it comes to pizza (although I've done no real research as to whether or not that's true, but let me think what I want).
Since I moved here, I have only heard good things about Crust Stone Oven Pizza so I'm going to make it a priority to try it.
Here's the deal:
LUNCH - $8 per person
Lunch special includes a side salad, cup of soup or side of truffle fries, and a personal-sized 1-topping Neapolitan pizza.
DINNER - $25
3 Topping Tavern Pizza and a Salad to Share

Davenport, IAThe Starting Line, formerly Brady Street Pub, opened their doors in 2015. With their front doors being blocks away from mine, I'm still shocked I haven't found time to try them out.
Although, I was there for a surprise 40th birthday party.
One of my friends who works in downtown Davenport says The Starting Line has a good, affordable lunch.
Here's the deal:
LUNCH - $8.00
Daily Lunch Special and a non-alcoholic drink for $8.00
DINNER - $20
Any appetizer to share and two entrees for $20.00
(This does not include the Battle Up Brady Burger Challenge.)
