If you're anything like us, being stuck on the West Coast during last week's horrific bombing of the Boston Marathon made you feel pretty helpless in terms of what you could do to lend a hand.
The local food and beverage scene felt similarly, and has decided to band together for an event called L.A. Drinks to Boston, where proceeds will be donated to One Fund Boston.
The event will take place city-wide this Saturday. Restaurants and bars are taking the proceeds from specific dishes and giving them to the charity. Current offerings include the Maine lobster and English peas from Wolfgang Puck at Hotel Bel-Air (of which 100% of the proceeds will be donated), Boston cream pie martinis at Vertical Wine Bar, Boston Strong cocktails at Dog Haus, and green tea-laced "Boston Tea Party" cocktails at Sushi Roku. Osteria La Buca will be offering up 100% of the proceeds from any classic pizza, and their special tequila-and-vermouth Boston cocktail.
It's moments like these that make us proud to be in the food community here in L.A.
Here's a full list of who's participating currently. (Sotto and Rivera are also on board, but their items are still TBD.) You can visit their Facebook page for more updates and a running list of bars and restaurants who join on board as it happens.
