We're just four weeks away from the city's biggest food bonanza: Denver Restaurant Week, which is really a two-week feast of grubbing at nearly 300 restaurants in the Mile High City, all of which will offer multi-course meals for the fixed price of $52.80 for two, or $26.40 if you're solo, excluding tax and gratuity.

The culinary orgy, sponsored by VisitDenver, begins in earnest on February 25; you can look at the menus on the Denver Restaurant Week website.

But the DRW menus are just the start of the cheat sheet you'll need if you're going to survive this feedbag. And because we want everyone to have the best experience possible, we're asking DRW veterans -- those of you who know all the tricks -- and industry peeps who work their asses off during these two weeks for their best survival tips.

The diner and restaurant employee who dish out the best nuggets of advice before 9 a.m. on Tuesday, January 31 will each win $52.80.

Submit your tips in the comments section below, and be sure to leave your first name and a valid e-mail address so that we can get in touch with you if you win.

Check, please!
