BUFFALO— Here's something interesting: there's a group in Buffalo who are so inspired by D.C.'s Union Market development that they're trying to get a similar project off the ground there. The group involved with Mercado has some D.C. connections, including former chefs from The Inn at Little Washington and Minibar. Here's their Kickstarter page. [EaterWire]
