Restaurants Cash in on Madness

–“March Madness,” that is.  According to Peter Romeo–one of my preferred industry bloggers–this fast-paced season of basketball eliminations is an important time for promotions in the restaurant industry.  Some try plying diners with basketball-related deals.  Others highlight their dining room bigscreen TVs, perfect for catching a game with some friends.  Is your restaurant planning any special menu additions?  Basketball-themed restaurant décor?  How do you keep guests coming back for more in these sometimes less-than-inspiring early spring days?  Personally, I can’t wait for the days when outdoor dining is back with the patio furniture and market umbrellas!
