Locke-Ober is now offering a three-course prix fixe lunch "for a budget-friendly price."

For $25, you'll get a starter, an entree, a dessert, and unlimited old-Boston atmosphere.

Here's a sample menu:

Sugar Pumpkin Bisque
Arugula and Endive Salad with Warm Gorgonzola Dolce            

Roasted Chicken Breast with Sherried Chanterelles
Steak Sandwich with Sun-dried Tomato Aioli
Crusted Broiled Boston Schrod
Sauteed Halibut with Cauliflower Fritters

Soft Chocolate Cake with Fresh Raspberries

The press release notes the menu is "appropriate for the business diner, tourist and Bostonians who have always wanted to dine at Locke-Ober." (Unstated ending of sentence: but were priced out.)

The Recipe Box Project:

If you want to contribute a recipe to The Recipe Box Project, please write it below. Also tell us where you got it (package box, cookbook, mom, friend -- include the name). We're looking for the kinds of dishes that people grew up on, that were served at family suppers, that tell a story, that are typically New England, or that you brought with you from a far away place to New England. We will print one of the recipes in the Food section once a month. To ask any questions, write to Debra Samuels, who is overseeing this project, at recipebox@globe.com.
