Hot-sauce drive for benefit burger bar

Hot-sauce drive for benefit burger bar
Chef Timothy Tucker put out a call on Facebook recently: "Salvation Army will be doing food vending at Forecastle for our fundraiser. Please donate your weird or crazy bottle of hot sauce ... and we will use it at our burger bar!"
Tucker runs the Salvation Army Center of Hope, which provides culinary training to those who are homeless or living in poverty. They will raise funds for the program through a burger bar at the Forecastle Festival July 9-11. The burgers are local -- Foxhollow Farms is butchering a cow for the event -- and a vegetarian portobello burger will be available too.

"We will do a huge bar of toppings ... hot sauce, malt vinegar, all kinds of crazy toppings you can put on a burger," says Tucker.
Center of Hope is partnering with the American Culinary Federation. Students from Center of Hope, the federation and Sullivan University will staff the bar.
During the festival, Tucker will perform with his band, Shelby Park Soul Stew. Using a cutting board outfitted with a guitar amplifier and a number of small kitchen appliances, Tucker will cook on stage, with his cooking sounds accompanied by the band's funk music.
"And at the end, we will serve a meal," says Tucker. The burger bar will also offer a special with the food cooked in the unique performance.
For more information, visit www.centerofhoperadio.org. Send (unopened) bottles of hot sauce to 831 S. Brook St., Louisville, KY 40203; attention: Timothy Tucker.
