Weekly dining events

I know that there are a few restaurants that have special dining events every week. Here are the ones I know of:

Sunday suppers at Lucques (been a few times, usually good)
Thursday family-style dinners at Angeli Caffe (never been, very curious)
Sunday burger night at Grace (never been)
Wednesday doughnut shoppe night at Grace (never been, but sampled the doughnuts on another night--deelish)
Thursday tartine/grilled cheese night at Campanille (refuse to go on principle; I can make great interesting grilled cheese sandwiches at home)
Monday bistro at JiRaffe (never been)
Wednesday farmer's market menu at Josie (good, but rather small portions)

These are all that immediately come to mind. What are some others around town? Have you been to any? What was your experience with them?

    Not sure if this is the same info as at novus vinum, but here's another link with seasonal, weekly, and ongoing events:

      Scroll about halfway down this page http://www.novusvinum.com/winedinners...
      where the headings start to be printed in BLUE and you'll see the day by day specials!

              Flemings in Woodland Hills has prime rib special on Sunday night.
