“We all know that it’s been a difficult year to say the least,” White said. “Our restaurants and our hospitality workers who are employed by these restaurants have faced some very difficult hurdles.”
She said this is the first Bloomington Restaurant Week with hopes to help these restaurants.
“This was one small promotional opportunity that we can take off of their plates and really run with,” White said.
