Raven's Sunday Roast; Fresh Pot's Anniversary Bash

DOWNTOWN—Chef David Padberg will bring casual Sundays to downtown's Raven & Rose with the launch of a weekly "Sunday roast," kicking off this weekend (Easter Sunday). Each week, the spot will offer a different family-style menu, featuring a rotating roast (carved for the table), potatoes, and a choice of side. The Sunday-only dinner costs $25 per person, with reservations available starting at 4p.m. (and yes, the regular a la carte menu is also still available on Sundays). [EaterWire]
