Baltimore's Winter Restaurant Week Is Back
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- It's the most delicious time of the year. Baltimore's Winter Restaurant Week is just a few days away.
Ron Matz reports this year diners will not only enjoy great food at bargain prices, but also help a local charity.
At Sabatino's they're setting the tables for Baltimore's Winter Restaurant Week.
"We've been planning since before the holidays. We've already submitted our menus, so you can find them online. It's a very exciting time for us at Sabatino's and we always look forward to it," said Lisa Morekas, Sabatino's. "We get the opportunity to host some new customers, maybe some customers we wouldn't have necessarily had, because we're offering such a deep discount. We also get an opportunity to see some of our regular customers more frequently than we normally would."
Great food at bargain prices will be served at more than 80 restaurants starting Jan. 21.
Visit Baltimore CEO Tom Noonan says this year's effort will help the homeless.
"There's a great story here as well. We charge the restaurants to be part of Restaurant Week. We take some of those dollars and donate it to 'The Journey Home.' We've already raised at least $500, which is great. The Journey Home fights homelessness. Diners will be able to text and make a $10 donation to The Journey Home, as well," said Noonan.
It's a great way to save a few bucks and enjoy a great meal.
"We've got over 85 restaurants so far. We'll probably end up having close to 100, like we always do. It's the most delicious week of the year," said Noonan. "Great restaurants are giving great deals on food, $20.11 for lunch, $35.11 for dinner."
Baltimore's Winter Restaurant Week will last 10 days, stretching over two weekends.
"We do a four-course meal. The first choice is an appetizer, then a salad, an entree and dessert. We have a variety of entrees, pasta, poultry, veal and seafood are offered--all the most popular entrees we offer at Sabatino's," said Morekas.
