Medium Rare closes in Hampden after less than a year and nearly $500K in losses

Steak and fries chain Medium Rare has closed its Baltimore location after less than a year in operation, according to founder Mark Bucher. Since the restaurant opened in Hampden’s Rotunda in November, “our losses were massive,” Bucher said, totaling $480,000. The restaurant — which originated in Washington, D.C., and has locations in Columbia and Bethesda, Dallas, New Orleans, and Arlington, Virginia — is “killing it everywhere else.”
