Parkville Participates in Baltimore County Restaurant Week

Are you a home cook or a self-proclaimed "foodie"? Do you spend lots of time watching Food Network or the Cooking Channel? Ever wanted to be a food critic?

Baltimore County Restaurant Week is upon us, and the promotion runs through Aug. 26 with 36 county eateries offering fixed price menus for both lunch and dinner.

Four notable Parkville nosh spots are in on the deal, and Parkville-Overlea Patch is offering you the opportunity to jump in with your opinion.

By clicking on the restaurant names below, you can visit our "Places" directory, where you can submit your own review of each eatery.
