Charitable Crab Rangoon Pizza
For Via 313’s next charitable pizza collaboration, the Detroit-style pizzeria is teaming up with to-go/delivery restaurant Tso Chinese Delivery. The result is a crab rangoon pizza, a pie topped with blue crab, cream cheese, wonton crisps, a sweet chili sauce, and scallions (there’s a gluten-free option as well for $3 more). One dollar from every $20 pie sold will go to Central Texas-based nonprofit Austin Asian Community Health Initiative (AACHI). It’s available from Monday, April 5 through Wednesday, May 2 from Via’s physical restaurants (Oak Hill, East Sixth, North Campus) for pickups placed online, over the phone, or in person, as well as dine-in service. During that same time, Via is also donating one dollar from every Royal Mai Tai cocktail sold to AACHI.
Food Festival Postponement
Hot Luck Festival, the food and music festival by Franklin Barbecue’s Aaron Franklin, the Mohawk’s James Moody, and Feast Portland’s Mike Thelin is officially not happening this May due to pandemic-related safety concerns. Last year’s festival had been postponed to this year. There is still a plan to run the event, which typically takes place over Memorial Weekend, “in a different way” sometime later this year, according to a release. The festival recently partnered with service industry worker-focused foundation Southern Smoke.
