Chicago’s Girl & the Goat Is Fundraising for LA Wildfire Emergency Relief | Eater Chicago

"The Chicago location is hosting a fundraiser brunch titled Chefs in Action, LA Fire Relief Brunch at 11 a.m. on Sunday, January 19; tickets are $150 and available via OpenTable. The team will serve brunch from an all-star lineup including Chicago chefs Jason Vincent of Giant and Jonathon Sawyer of Kindling. Maueet Chaunan, Joe Sasto, and Boston chef Karen Akunowicz will also contribute, with proceeds benefitting the California Wildfire Disaster & Relief Fund. Izard posted about her home near Altadena and Pasadena: “Beyond sad and scary, and far from over. Sending love and strength to all of those nearby the many fires continuing to break out around LA.” A rep says Izard, her family, and her home are safe, and the fire hasn’t damaged her restaurants, though many restaurant owners haven’t been so lucky as areas like Malibu and Altadena have been hit hard. Tickets are available via OpenTable." - Ashok Selvam
