Friends,

Chutney, my favourite restaurant, burned down yesterday. I’m gutted.

In my five years as a food writer, nobody has been kinder to me than Chutney’s owner, Riaz Khan. He’s the sweetest, most generous man, and he didn’t deserve this.

Please keep Mr. Khan and his family, his employees, and his restaurant in your thoughts. When Chutney is up and running again, let’s have a Butter Chicken Bash there to show our love.

Until then, Mr. Khan and his employees could use some help staying afloat while dealing with the mitigation, rebuild, etc. He has entrusted me with this fundraiser, and we’d sincerely appreciate any help from all of you.

Thanks so much for your time, kindness, and generosity.
