A Gourmet BBQ for the Downtown Eastside: Glowbal Restaurant Group partners with Union Gospel Mission
On Tuesday, August 10th, Union Gospel Mission will partner with the Glowbal Restaurant Group to a serve thousands of free gourmet BBQ meals to the people of the Downtown Eastside. The newly renovated Oppenheimer Park will be packed with guests enjoying a mouth-watering menu of BBQ chicken, beef brisket, ribs, potato salad, coleslaw, corn bread, baked beans, iced tea and butter tart bars for desert, all prepared by six chefs – one from each Glowbal Group Restaurants.
“With this event, we are strengthening our partnership with the Union Gospel Mission,” says Glowbal Collection Proprietor, Emad Yacoub. “A Texas BBQ is a high-spirit way to support outreach workers and connect with Vancouver’s people in difficulty and need.”
Union Gospel Mission president Bill Mollard says, “For UGM, the process of helping someone off the street often starts with a meal. So when the Glowbal Group approached us about hosting a gourmet BBQ this summer, it was a natural fit. What impresses me about the Glowbal team is that they’re taking what they’re passionate about – which is really good food – and sharing that passion with those who may never otherwise experience a meal like this.”
