“Fork the Fire” to Help Heidi’s, Blackbird

More than 55 area restaurants will raise money for Heidi’s and Blackbird (the two Minneapolis restaurants destroyed by a recent fire) on March 14. The “Fork the Fire” evening features two special events: A $30 dinner at Mission American Kitchen (featuring Stewart Woodman), and a $25 dinner at Cafe 28 featuring Chris Stevens of Blackbird.

UPDATE: From what I can gather, different restaurants will be using different formulas to determine what sort of donations they make to the fund on March 14; you also have the option of donating directly to the Blackbird and Heidi’s Benefit Fund, Central Bank, 2120 Hennepin Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55405.
