In this episode of The Green Room, host Jonathon Platt sits down with Carole Fergusson, Executive Director of Keep Waco Beautiful and founder of Waco Restaurant Week. She discusses the story behind Waco Restaurant Week – how it’s grown, the opportunities for growth, and the purpose of the week.
What began in 2019 as an effort to spotlight local restaurants has evolved into a citywide celebration that has raised thousands of dollars for local nonprofits while driving economic growth.
Waco Restaurant Week offers numerous opportunities for local businesses to share their culture and delicious recipes with Waco, Baylor, and visitors. The Baylor Line is a proud sponsor of Waco Restaurant Week and to kick off the party The Baylor Line is hosting a panel discussion highlighting Baylor Alumni-Owned Businesses at 6 p.m. October 27.
Tune in for a story where the main course is community.
