Giovanni's, a restaurant in Morro Bay, gave away free fish & chips in June to celebrate its 30th anniversary. I got the kids out of school early (boy, were they surprised!) and headed over to the coast.
It was some party! The line was long, but it moved fast and was quite entertaining!
People walked around handing out free stuff - the boys got hats, and I got a shirt.
Plus cotton candy and bakery cookies. They also had a live band. The whole thing felt very festive!
It was such a beautiful day there!
They fed 2000 people that day. The owner was quoted as saying, "It's pretty costly, but I've been pretty blessed and I believe in giving back and the community has supported us for 30 years and it's my way of saying thank you, giving back to the community, giving back to the hungry, the homeless, everybody."
We even found an empty table with a fabulous view.
The fish was delicious, and the portions were huge! We took half of it home for dinner.
They raised awareness and money for the food bank. Such a great idea - thank you Giovanni's!
