A little more than twenty percent

I hope everyone out there is enjoying their weekend. Jill and I just got back from a very hot and sticky 9/11 Memorial 5k run. While she's taking a short recovery nap, I found this interesting article in the Washington Post about big name chefs tapping their customers for inventment money for other projects.

Uber-chef Michel Richard for example raised about $3 million from 44 different investors to open Central.

I think this is yet another example of how strong the food community is here in DC, and certainly a good sign of things to come.
