One of our favorite new restaurants is the uptown Gem, Mister Mao. We have covered the restaurant since its opening, and we have enjoyed the success they’ve had along Tchoupitoulas street in the Lower Garden District. This time Mister Mao is stepping into a new territory, relief efforts for Hurricane Ian. 

On Sunday, October 23, Mister Mao’s Chef/Owner Sophina Uong will once again open her doors for a charitable dinner. Uong and other local Chefs will team up for a Sunday Supper to benefit Fill the Needs. 

Fill The Needs is a NOLA-based non-profit organization dedicated to assessing, evaluating, and implementing a coordinated network of resources following a disaster. Currently, Fill the Needs is working diligently to help victims of Hurricane Ian.

Guests can help those who’ve been hit hard by Ian, while enjoying a five-course dinner featuring creative dishes prepared by the talented chefs from Piece of Meat, kin, Palm & Pine, and Plume Algiers. Priced at $85.00 per person (excluding alcoholic beverages, tax, and gratuity), two seatings are available promptly at 5:45 PM and 8:15 PM. 25% of ticket sales will go directly to Fill the Needs.
