Made in Montgomery’s episode on local entrepreneurship featured three Montgomery County businesses that tie culture to commerce.

In Silver Spring, Mandalay restaurant was presented as a family business that moved from a College Park donut shop to a full Burmese restaurant in 2000 after patrons responded strongly to its traditional dishes. The segment described the restaurant’s emphasis on authenticity: "We keep our food traditional, and we make it the way that it was supposed to be made," a speaker said, noting that family teamwork and staff commitment helped the restaurant weather economic and operational challenges.

In Rockville, co‑owners Ken Skidmore and Julio Fabre described Botanero as a small‑plates, globally influenced restaurant with an extensive wine selection. Fabre said wine culture in Uruguay shaped his interest, and the segment noted Botanero’s relationships with minority winemakers and local fundraising and volunteer efforts.

Edge Floral Event Designers owner Steve Ornstein (introduced in the segment) showed viewers his workspaces and described the business’s scale, saying the company handles social and private events — weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs and more — and runs about 700 events a year. Ornstein discussed family tradition in the business, sourcing cut flowers locally and internationally, and volunteer work with local police satellite stations and the nonprofit Caring Matters.

Each profile emphasized local roots, ties to community service, and how owners translate cultural traditions into business offerings. The broadcast framed these profiles as examples of entrepreneurship that support neighborhoods and create civic and charitable connections.

Practical details: Mandalay is in Silver Spring; Botanero is in Rockville; Edge Floral operates warehouses and event services in Rockville. The broadcast did not provide specific addresses or hours for any business.
