"Food is a right," Amanda says. "It's not a 'maybe' - it's a right, a human right. If the government's not going to step in, then we're going to step in, because that's our business. We care about our fellow citizens here in New Orleans."
"Restaurants are places where people can both celebrate and grieve, and come together in community," says Katie Button, Asheville chef and co-owner Cúrate. "That becomes especially true during the holidays."
As North Carolina began to recover from the disastrous effects of Hurricane Helene, the pintxos expert, who was forced to temporarily close Cúrate due to hurricane damage, was determined to help others in need by way of community engagement.
She began hosting pintxos parties to gather folks in a joyful setting, eventually teaming up with local Asheville chef Ashleigh Shanti, owner of Good Hot Fish (which was also impacted by the hurricane), to raise funds for those in need.
