BILLY GRANT JUST VOTED “ONE OF THE 50 MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE IN GREATER HARTFORD, 2009” BY HARTFORD MAGAZINE, AUGUST ISSUE.
It seemed like every other person in line said “thank you for doing this” to all of us at Grants. It was very moving – a simple thing like hot chili on a very cold day, but not just any day – one of America’s greatest days. It was creating a bond with our community, something more restaurants should occasionally do.
