The 75 year old Restaurant
Association of Maryland, the statewide trade association for the restaurant
industry, has just announced the nominees for the 2015 Stars of the Industry Awards.
Winners will be announced at their 61st Annual Stars of the Industry
Gala – Havana Nights on April 12th.
Earlier this year, the general
public sent in their nominations in seven categories. The Restaurant
Association of Maryland just announced the finalist and opened up the voting to
both industry professionals and the public.
Everyone likes bragging rights
and for these restaurants, the wins are important, it reflects the consumers’
appreciation of their commitment to offering only the best that they put on
their plates and in their glasses.
Voting is open now through March
11 and you, John or Jane Q. Public, can now vote for your favorites online at marylandrestaurants.com/gala or on Facebook, facebook.com/marylandrestaurants.
