Every year I wait in anticipation for Live Local’s annual Winter Fork Fest – a promotion that encourages local foodies to venture out of their homes into a world of great dining. With a number of locally owned and operated restaurants offering multi-course menus at $25 and $45 per person from January 19 – 23 and 26 – 30, 2014, it will be a personal challenge of mine to visit as many participating restaurants in two weeks that I can.
