I told you last week about Racines restaurant’s celebration of its 30th anniversary with two trips to locations bearing the eatery’s namesake.
Owners David Racine and Lee Goodfriend decided to offer two winners a trip to Paris to eat at the Bouillon Racine and a second-place trip to Racine, Wis.
Racines, at 650 Sherman St., has been a 30-year staple serving breakfast, lunch, dinner and brunch to local politicians, movers and shakers and the occasional out-of-town celebrity. It’s often been said that when you can’t figure out what you want to eat, go to Racines. The eclectic menu has something to offer any palate.
Since the story ran in various news media, Goodfriend, a long-time pal, sent me this update:
“It’s been interesting regarding the Racine, Wisconsin,trip. I got a phone call from the Racine visitors bureau offering to set up a cool itinerary for the Racine, Wis., winner and offers of restaurant gift cards and meals from a couple restaurateurs.
“Even though I grew up in the northern suburbs of Chicago not very far away, I didn’t know much about Racine. and it sounds lovely with a great waterfront and one of the best beaches in the country. Who knew?”
Are you listening Visit Denver? Sounds like a sister city opportunity.
