Support for Sierra Bonita Restaurant Team

As you know, this virus disaster has decimated the entire restaurant industry.  Our new normal is hard to accept right now and I’ll admit we’ve been spoiled for a long time.  I am creating this fundraiser to help Nate Hopper and crew during these tough times not only to honor their work but in hopes they will resurrect after this crisis is over.  Don’t you miss sitting at the bar while Mauro pours a nice cold beer?  I can still smell the wonderful aroma of freshly made Buttermilk chicken or Hopper’s Poppers being slid in front of me ready to enjoy.  I really miss Robert already knowing I was craving their signature Street tacos and laughing with Abby and Michelle.  Many of you out there still think about starting your Sunday brunch with a Bloody Mary or a Queso Fundido dip when the coast is clear and we begin to resume our livelihood.  Friends, some of us have been affected drastically more than others during this stressful time.  Frankly, Lyonel and I are missing all of you.  We are thinking of Stacy, Niño, Tony and the rest of the team too.  I’d like to call on you to help these guys and gals who waited, served, poured, shook, laughed, grilled, wiped and measured with love, every single drink or plate you have ever ordered.  Most of all they stopped and listened to you at the right time.  They say you might forget what was said but you’ll never forget how they made you feel.  Will you send a “tip” to thank the gang for old times’ sake?
