| The fire at Hubig's Pies |
I got this communique from the fabulous Ann Tuennerman from Tales of The Cocktail this morning. Come by tonight if you can. Lauren from Fleurty Girl is partnering this party tonight for Hubig's.
 From Ann: This is a huBIG Deal In New Orleans, a Hubig’s pie isn’t just a treat. It’s a culinary tradition. So when a devastating fire destroyed the legendary Hubig’s factory last Friday morning, we knew we had to pitch in to keep that tradition alive. Hubig's Pies have been the official snack food of Tales of the Cocktail for many years and fed our staff and volunteers. Tales of the Cocktail has partnered with Fleurty Girl for a special Save Hubig’s event this Thursday, August 2nd from 5pm – 7pm at the Fleurty Girl store located at 3117 Magazine Street. Join us for a complimentary Hubigs-inspired cocktail created by Chris Hannah of French 75 and pick up one of Fleurty Girl’s exclusive Hubig’s t-shirts. All profits from the sale of each shirt will go directly to the Bowman and Ramsey families to help them rebuild their factory and put their legendary pies back on the shelf. Drew and Kathleen Ramsey will be in attendance. Mourning Pie Cocktail Created by Chris Hannah Arnaud’s French 75 Bar 1 oz Plymouth Gin 3/4 oz. Pineapple juice 1/2 oz. Limoncello 1/2 oz.

It's so nice to see a community rally around a member who has suffered such a terrible loss. Best of luck with the fund raising. If it's New Orleans, it's sure to be a success.
ReplyDeleteI'll take a lemon one ;-> I think it would be the best pairing with that cocktail..
ReplyDeleteI almost did a post on this...so glad you did! They are also selling their t-shirts on their website to help fundraise.
ReplyDeleteMouths will be watering til we get them up and running again, that's for sure!
