| DTES residents benefit from Glowbal's five-star BBQ
http://vancouver.24hrs.ca/News/local.../14981276.html Quote:
A line of hundreds stretched around Oppenheimer Park as ritzy chefs served up some Southern hospitality to Downtown Eastside residents Tuesday.
Chefs, staff and volunteers from the Glowbal restaurant group served thousands of Texas-style barbecue meals all day as their way of giving back to the community.

That's Emhad. His story is one of rags to riches so i'm sure this isn't just another publicity stunt, they have been doing this for years and this is a chance to give something back.

I'm not taking away the fact that its a good thing for the community but you gotta realize that rich people "give back to the community" all the time to pay less taxes.. One of the advantages of having a good accountant..

Who cares? Sucking money out of the riches and distributing them to the poor who needs food. Sounds good to me.
