On 9/14/18, the first anniversary of the last shift that our Two Chefs worked, we asked local restaurants to donate a portion of their proceeds for that evening to the Two Chefs fund with the Central New York Community Foundation.
The response was amazing!
Not only did we have 14 restaurants participate, but many personal donations as well.
We hope to start a new tradition in the Syracuse area to continue to honor Steve & Kris, and help the community that they loved.
