Charity cookout continues today
ASHEVILLE — The Texas Roadhouse restaurant on Hendersonville Road, damaged by a fire Thursday night, held a charity fundraiser Saturday and will continue today to clear out its refrigerators.
Employees are grilling steaks, ribs and chicken in the parking lot. The public can buy the fare 1-5 p.m. for $10 per person, with the proceeds going to the Eblen Foundation, said Tonya Buchanan, the restaurant's assistant service manager.
The restaurant at 230 Hendersonville Road suffered damage in a roof fire just after closing Thursday night.
The blaze ignited in a hood system used for ventilation, said Carlo Marzella, a battalion chief for Asheville Fire and Rescue.
Texas Roadhouse manager Chad Noble said he hopes to reopen the restaurant this week.
"We have to go through all the permits and get all the inspections done," he said. "I would say probably Wednesday or Thursday."
For more information about the fundraiser, call the restaurant at 274-4311.
