Moon Rabbit hosting fundraiser dinner for Monterey Park victims
Celebrating the Year of the Rabbit with Moon Rabbit
We are celebrating the Year of the Rabbit at Chef Kevin Tien’s Moon Rabbit!
WASHINGTON - Moon Rabbit, a high-end Vietnamese restaurant at the Wharf, is hosting a seven-course dinner and auction to raise money for victims and families of the Monterey Park shooting.
On Saturday, eleven people were killed in a mass shooting at a ballroom dance studio amidst a Lunar New Year celebration. The suspected gunman, 72-year-old Huu Can Tran, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The dinner, which will be on Sunday, Jan. 29, will feature six local chefs: Tim Ma of Lucky Danger, Erik Bruner Yang of Maketto, Yuan Tang of Rooster & Owl, Paolo Dungca of Hiraya, Masako Morishita of Perry's and Moon Rabbit's own Susan Bae. Each chef has been asked to make a dish special to them, including Moon Rabbit head chef Kevin Tien.
The event will begin at 6:30 p.m. and costs $200 a head, with a portion of the proceeds also going to the #SupportChinatown initiative in D.C.
