It was a very short run for Brio's Chicken at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda. The Peruvian chicken restaurant opened this past April, and has now closed. Now we can once again hope that this space will one day be filled by Olive Garden, Texas Roadhouse, or Chili's.
Every jurisdiction in America has one of each of those chains, except Montgomery County. A truly bizarre situation, that can be quickly remedied by Westfield. As Montgomery County taxes rapidly go up, and average income level goes down, more and more residents need affordable dining options. The Charlie Palmer Steak crowd has fled for lower-tax points west of the Potomac.
