A week ago, Katie Button’s popular Asheville, North Carolina, restaurants Cúrate and La Bodega were thriving. However, in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, the restaurants are facing significant challenges, with access to running water potentially unavailable for up to a month.
In response to the devastation caused by the storm, Button has shifted her focus towards providing assistance to those in need. Partnering with chef Jose Andres’ World Central Kitchen, her restaurants are actively involved in delivering meals and water to individuals who have been isolated due to the storm's impact.
