A new summer month brings a new discount-menu spree to local restaurants. August belongs to The Palm Beaches Restaurant Month, the county’s newly expanded dining promotion. And it’s getting a splashy kick-off Tuesday night.

Organizers from Discover The Palm Beaches will bring a big-ticket “Friends of James Beard” benefit dinner to the PGA National Resort and Spa. The resort is home to new restaurants by acclaimed chefs and “Top Chef” alumni Lindsay Autry (Honeybelle) and Jeremy Ford (The Butcher’s Club).

On the menu for the five-course, $195-per-person dinner: a country ham-wrapped tilefish with fennel fondue, grilled peaches and sherry brown butter by Autry, and a smoked short rib with spinach crepe, pickled vegetables, chimichurri and shiso by Ford.

Restaurant Month, which began as a two-week promotion last year, features prix-fixe menus and other discounts at more than 130 participating restaurants this year.
