Restaurant owner David Turin was a little skeptical when he heard the original plans for Maine Restaurant Week. 'You're going to take one of the slowest weeks of the year, in March, and turn it into one of the busiest weeks of the year? Sure you are,' said Turin, who owns three David's restaurants, in Portland and South Portland. 'I was a hardcore skeptic at first. But that's what happened. One of the worst times of the year for restaurants became one of the best, like summer.' Now in it's 15th year, Maine Restaurant Week has become a highly anticipated event, when restaurants, cafes and other establishments put a spotlight on their fare by offering special menus and deals.
