Hell’s Kitchen, through the power of food, is doing whatever they can to support the hell out of our community. That’s why on Monday, February 16, from 9a to 2p, they’re hosting their first Hotcakes for a Helluva Cause, a ticketed community pancake breakfast benefiting Mercado Central—a cultural cornerstone and economic lifeline for Minneapolis’ East Lake Street corridor. For 26 years, Mercado Central, a cooperative founded by Latino entrepreneurs with the immense support of community-building organizations, has been the backbone of the improvement and economic development of the vibrant East Lake Street corridor in Minneapolis, as well as serving as an ambassador of culture and a community gathering place. Home to 36 small businesses, the current situation has seen drops in revenue of more than 90%. They need the community's help now more than ever to ensure a thriving cultural center for decades to come.
When guests purchase a ticket, you get a breakfast that includes: lemon ricotta hotcakes, buttermilk pancakes, thick-cut bacon, fresh berries, complimentary coffee graciously donated by Peace Coffee, orange juice and milk, and of course, their legendary housemade peanut butter.
Guests can also enjoy live music from The Roe Family Singers from 10a to 1p, who are generously sharing their time and talent in support of this great cause.
Hell’s Kitchen will be donating 84% of all sales directly to the fund to save Mercado Central. The remaining 16% will be going to the floor and kitchen staff. Performance Food Group (PFG) and Peace Coffee, are covering the food and coffee.
PRESALE TICKETS (available now): $20 for adults and $12 for kids (12 and under).
DAY-OF TICKETS: $24 for adults and $15 for kids.
