For the next 13 weeks, Toronto’s gourmands will have the opportunity to dine out at various Toronto restaurants sans the hefty bill. The catch? Dinner on a Tuesday night and a $60 down payment. But with a 30 per cent discount at places like Burger Bar and The Bowery, we'll skip the latest installments of Glee and Dancing With the Stars (don't judge!) and instead opt for a cheap-ish night out.

Tuesday Foodie, launched after only a month of planning, is a discount card tempting foodies to “experience the best in Toronto dining.” Starting Jan. 3 and running up until Mar. 27, a total of 21 restaurants across the city will knock 30 per cent off your lunch or dinner bill on Tuesdays.

The card, available for $60, aims to push Torontonians to venture into new territory and treat their taste buds to exotic flavours, like The Royal Elephant's green curry or Mangia Cake's aptly-named signature dish, the mangia cake. Even Blue Plate is on board, boasting updated comfort food such as bison meatloaf wrapped in bacon (which immediately and involuntarily prompts a Homer Simpson-esque drool).

It almost makes KFC's “Toonie Tuesdays” seem like a distant, greasy, deep-fried thing of the past. Savour the savings, fellow gastronomists.

UPDATE: Tuesday Foodie has expanded and the card will now last for the duration of 2012.
