The list of participating restaurants has been released for the annual DFW Restaurant Week. The grand total is 131, if you count all the branches of the chains involved. (If you subtract the branches, it's 111.)

Celebrating 17 years in 2014, DFW Restaurant Week was founded by radio station KRLD 1080-AM in 1997. Since its creation, the event has become a popular marketing and fundraising opportunity and has helped raise money for the North Texas Food Bank and Lena Pope Home.

The original plan was to give diners the chance to eat at fancy restaurants for $35 for three courses of food, plus tax, tip and beverages.

With every year, the event sees more extensions and permutations. The official week is August 11-17, but some restaurants also participate for two weeks, extending it through August 18-24; some go for three weeks, from August 25-31.

There are restaurants that include a fourth course via Central Market, the ones adding a specialty cocktail, the ones doing a lunch option and the alternative premium dinner for $45 instead of $35.

This year there are yet more extensions, with a new preview weekend, from August 8-10, and a pre-party on August 7 — i.e., at this point, why don't we just call it DFW Restaurant Month.
