In reason of the tragedy that struck Brumadinho (MG) at the end of January, the Instituto Brasil a Gosto is mobilizing all the national gastronomy sector – chefs, restaurants and businessmen – to engage in an action on behalf of the victims of the tragedy.
The idea is to expand, in Brazil, the #paodequeijopelavida campaign, launched by chef Raphael Rego, from Oka – a restaurant in Paris that has recently become the only one abroad dedicated to Brazilian cuisine to win a Michelin star. Raphael decided to sell in his restaurant, for a month, portions of pão de queijo (cheese bread), an icon of Minas Gerais cuisine, at 5 euros. All the revenue will go to the victims.
Those interested in taking part in the action (chef, restaurant, event, professional, among others) are invited to create or choose a dish or product to participate in the campaign. They must also define the percentage of the sales that will be donated, as well as how long it will be active. Each business will be responsible for sending the money to a project that supports the victims of Brumadinho.
Those who want to help can contact us in our social media channels, by the email contato@brasilagosto.org or calling (11) 97087-8109.
