Brooklyn Eats, now in its third season, was launched by the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce to showcase the culinary treasures found throughout the borough - and to celebrate the publication of its dining guide, "Brooklyn Eats: The Guide to Brooklyn Restaurants" ($12.95).
It has grown along with the borough's culinary industry, which now includes developing restaurant rows on Old Fulton St. downtown, on Smith and Court Sts. in Boerum Hill and Carroll Gardens, and on Eighth Ave. in Sunset Park, in addition to the well-established restaurant scenes in Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst, Sheepshead Bay and Park Slope.
"When we first started this in 1997, we had 10 restaurants offering samples," said Kenneth Adams, president of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce. "In 1998, we had 20 restaurants, and this year we had 33. Next year, we hope to add 15 to 20 more restaurants and attract at least 1,000 people."
