Owen Kamihira lures in-the-bizzers with seafood dinner discount
 |
| River & Glen |
The expression "in the biz" may provoke irritation from those who regard restaurant work as an unskilled profession, but there's no sneezing at the economic impact of service industry workers on the restaurants they patronize. Hungry, thirsty and eager for a bite to brag about, food service staffers congregate at spots with satisfying food, strong drinks and a vibe with a pulse.
Smart restaurateurs tap into this market by providing in-the-biz discounts and industry nights with gratis treats. Owen Kamihira, owner of Bar Ferdinand (Liberties Walk, 1030 N. Second St.), offered a 20 percent discount off the $65 ticket price of his upcoming River & Glen sustainable seafood dinner today in a press release. This small local purveyor has earned major buzz among chefs and diners alike for his pristine selection of non-threatened fish and mollusks.
Tickets can be reserved for the Sun., April 25 dinner by calling Ferdinand at 215-923-1313; restaurant employees should bring a pay stub to receive their 20 percent discount. See the preliminary menu after the jump.
