Richard Gorelick looks back at the (mostly) concluded Restaurant Week in Baltimore City and County in today's Sun.
Sales were up in the city over last summer's Restaurant Week. And the county restaurants, which got in on the promotion for the first time this year, were "shocked" by how successful it was, Brian Boston, executive chef of the Milton Inn and organizer of the county Restaurant Week, told Richard. County restaurants are already planning a wintertime version.
There's a bit of government intrigue in Richard's report, which notes that county officials did not help organize or promote the event.
"Boston says he approached the county for support but was turned down," Richard writes.
You can read more about that in Richard's Table Talk column.
