Fork the Fire Benefit for Blackbird
Café Twenty Eight Fork the Fire Benefit
Press Release 3/2/10
After having the pleasure of meeting with Gail and Chris from Blackbird we decided that an Open House Celebration was the type of benefit we wanted to hold on Sunday March 14. They were tired of feeling they were attending a funeral and felt that this would give Chris a chance to get back to cooking and give Gail and their staff the opportunity to thank the community of customers that has supported them over the years.

We are blessed as restauranteurs to become part of the lives of those we serve. This event will give the folks that Gail, Chris and the Blackbird staff have touched to come in let them know what they have meant to them, to offer support and solace and to wish them well. We would also like to thank Molly Broder for organizing these events and all of the great restaurants that are coming together to show their support and appreciation for Blackbird and Heidi’s.
We look forward to seeing you Sunday March 14th.
