Kamenetz Announces Start of
Baltimore County Restaurant Week
Participating restaurants to offer specials August 12 - 26


Towson, MD -- Today, Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz announced the start of Baltimore County Restaurant Week, which runs August 12 -- 26. Over 30 restaurants throughout the County will feature special menus at a discounted, fixed price.
A full list of participating restaurants, menus and reservation links can be viewed on YouTube, http://www.youtube.com/baltimorecounty; Facebook, http://www.facebook.com/baltimorecounty; or by visiting

This is Baltimore County's second Restaurant Week. The first promotion, held last January, contributed to an 11 percent increase in restaurant tax receipts from the previous January.
"Baltimore County Restaurant Week is back in full swing with both new and returning restaurants. For the next two weeks, County residents can leave the cooking at home and get a great deal too," said Kamenetz.
Restaurant Week offers one to three course lunch and dinner specials that range in price from $10.11 to $35.11.
"Restaurant Week not only saves customers some money, but it helps drive business to our restaurants at a time of year that is typically slow," said John Olszewski, Sr., chair of the Baltimore County Council.
"This is a great way to support local businesses in your community and across the County. There's something for every taste and budget," said Keith Scott, president and CEO of the Baltimore County Chamber of Commerce and Small Business Resource Center.
Baltimore County Restaurant Week is sponsored by Baltimore County Tourism and Promotion, the Baltimore County Chamber of Commerce and Sysco.
