Restaurant offers free Hot Soup to Neighbors without Power

Varanese Restaurant, 2106 Historic Frankfort Avenue,
is offering complimentary White Chile and
Jalepeno Cheddar Cornbread from 5 p.m. - 7 p.m.
DAILY (Closed for Super Bowl) to anyone who is
without power, on the honor system, while supplies last.

"This is just a little something that we can do
to help warm everyone up a bit. We're all in this together.
We lost power for awhile during the last storm. I challenge other
restaurants in other neighborhoods to do the same...
Maybe create a free soup du jour grid around the city,"
Chef John Varanese said.

That is a great gesture.... I've had plenty of people asking me for free beer to help get them through the cold times with no power. If I started that, I'd have to get the National Guard out here to protect the building.

David,

That is wonderful! What a great gesture of support. I'm already a big fan of your place, and now an even bigger one.

Deb

What a generous gesture, another reason to love this town.

It certainly shows what a classy individual John is. He is certainly giving back to his community. It's a very valor gesture you are making.

Tremendous gesture....well done.

The goodness just keeps coming...

Thanks Stephen - I hope you are doing well at Z's. I hope to get down there and see you soon. I'm sure you have come up with some innovative cocktails.

This is indeed a nice gesture. We arrived for an 8:15 reservation and were offered the soup so it's not just until 7, at least not last night. I passed as I wanted to leave room for the main course and desert. We both very much enjoyed our dinner and service was very attentive but not rushed at all. In fact I don't think we left until after 11. I'm wondering what took me so long to try this place. It certainly won't take me so long to go back

You need to get one of those "free beer tomorrow" signs.

There is no place better than Varanese!!!
