The benefit party was a huge success. We are so moved by our customers and our community. It was a much bigger turn out than we could have ever imagined. We would like to thank Stanely Milton's Mean streak for the entertainment as well as John & Betsy Lane, TJ Aiken and Ian Mallary. These musicians played in the insane heat. Kerry the base player passed out and went back to play more. They do not make humans like this anymore. We could not have pulled it off without Chef Charlie and Chef Leeland. We ran out Beans, most of the Gumbo, Chef Charlie's Green Chilli, all the seafood and about 200 Boudin Balls. Chef Leelands Fry Bread desserts went so fast I did not even get to try them. Together we served up a buffet of delicious food. We thank our friends the McLean’s for helping us keep the day running smoothly with all the little things that really add up. It would have been a mess without them. A big thank you to Amy, Ryan and Joe who lent us tents, tables and chairs. Joe even helped set them up and take them down. He saved my back literally. Last but not least all you beautiful people that showed up and showed out. It truly was an amazing day.
If anyone like to send me pictures to add feel free.

Unfortunately this has been my experience in every disaster I've been a part of relief for. Our people have been turned away, harassed and threatened while trying to respond to genuine needs. We will keep doing what we can do to get food to the people who need it as we deal with these issues of obstructed bureaucracy. Anyone who evacuated or volunteers can come directly to the restaurant and we will get you as many meals as needed. We are also using the banquet room for staging any non perishable goods to go to the people in need of them. If you are trying or wanting to help please give locally. FInd a family displaced. Find a group of campers and drop off food to them directly. Treat your neighbors as you would your own family. But do not give one dime to the Red Cross. They are ran as a corporation with a CEO making 1.3 million a year in pay. I always try to stay above this nonsense, especially in business, but this has to stop. Thanks to everyone trying to help. - Chef Marcus. .
