Each year Baltimore hosts what is called 'restaurant week' where the restaurants of Baltimore showcase what they have to offer, and businesses are able to get free advertisements and promotion to bring their company up to a bigger scale.
However, Michael Tabrizi has a different idea. Not really interested in cashing in on restaurant week, Michael has decided to shut down his restaurant to the general public for the next week so that he can feed the homeless, free of charge.
“I decided that, after all of the chaos earlier this year, it would be better to do something for the city to unite the people. It isn’t about revenue and money right now, we’ve done restaurant week before and we know the numbers, but right now it’s more important to promote the welfare of the city and its residents rather than to promote the business" Tabrizi told Baltimore Magazine.
Baltimore has definitely suffered a rough year this year. With the massive upheaval which arose between the public and the authorities earlier on in the year, Baltimore had to rebuild not only the city, but to rebuild the trust between both the people and the authorities, however Tabrizi believes that every little helps and he is doing his bit to try to rebuild the city and help the people unite once again.
“The main goal is just to show people that actions do matter. Baltimore has a long way to recover and we can’t just rely on other people to lead. It’s our city. My dad used to always say, ‘You can’t control what people do and say, but you can control how you act.’ My reaction is bringing people together and showing them that I care,” Tabrizi said.
