WE’VE LAUNCHED A NEW INDUSTRY FUNDRAISER!

📣BIG NEWS!📣

Today, we’re proud to launch a new industry support initiative called ‘Behind the Plexi’.

A collaboration between Breaking Bread and local restaurateur Brad Roark (@nookrestaurant & @oddfishrestaurant), this raw photo essay features a behind-the-scenes glimpse into 33 beloved local restaurants during the pandemic such as @askforluigi, @kulakitchen, @comotaperia, @stlawrencerestaurant and more by offering a series of limited-edition prints available for purchase until Monday, May 31 via breakingbreadnow.com/behind-the-plexi.

All proceeds from each print will be dedicated to the creation of two new scholarships for restaurant workers who have experienced employment setbacks due to COVID-19 — one via the @bchospitalityfoundation and the other to the @chineserestaurantawards scholarship at Vancouver Community College. The Chinese Restaurant Awards will also contribute $10 for every print sold from the collection of photos taken at Chinese and Taiwanese restaurants.

Four acclaimed Vancouver-based photographers graciously donated their artistic eyes and time for the Behind the Plexi project, including: Wade Comer (@wadecomerphoto), Miranda Hudson (@hudsonny), William Luk (@mayowill) and Luis Valdizon (@whentheyfindus).

Stay tuned over the next week, when we give you a look at our four shutterbugs whose work captures this very essence of this period of time — a time of determination and resolve in which we need to stick together, support one another and keep going until we can come out on the other side.

Stand tall. Stay strong. Show love. Support local.
