We write about IKEA food here. Yes we do. We like it despite the gruff and borderline insolent servers, the awful eggs, the fact that the food is just a means to get people in the door.

We like it because the price is often just about right (the 99-cent breakfast particularly). And now this weekend, IKEA is offering a 3-course prix fixe for $7.99.
For the first course, you have the choice of soup or salad. For the main, one of four options: 15 meatballs with mashed potato; North Atlantic Saithe with mashed potatoes and carrots; roast chicken with mashed potatoes and veggies; or chicken tenders with fries.
For dessert: either chocolate cake or tiramisu.
It's a lot of food for the price of valet at dineLA Restaurant Week, which, by the way, begins on Monday.
IKEA's own version, a Restaurant Weekend, if you will, starts Saturday the 18th and lasts through Monday the 20th.
Thanks to JB for the tip.
