Mid-November, we found out the great Salaryman restaurant was closing and its chef had stopped working to focus on treatment for leukemia.
Since then, Dallas’ restaurant community has rallied as it frequently does, organizing a GoFund Me page that has raised more than $70,000.
In a couple of weeks comes another opportunity to support the chef: Lazy Sunday will be a drive-thru, “fancy-snacks-in-a-box” pick-up event where guests can get bites from favorite restaurants while contributing funds to Holt’s treatment.
Each kit, $120, has snacks for two from at least 16 Dallas restaurants. More than 30 businesses are contributing, and “you’ll have more than enough food to get you through a lazy day of snacking,” according to a news release.
We’re thankful for you. Are you thankful for us?
We feel thankful for our staff and for the privilege of fulfilling our mission to be an unparalleled source of information and insight in Dallas. We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to this community.
Help us continue giving back to Dallas.

Each box has snacks for two to last all day.

Previews of these treats include burnt ends from Lockhart Smokehouse, bread and butter pickles from Homewood or sweets from Dude, Sweet Chocolate or Haute Sweets Patisserie. Maybe even pork tamales from José or a charcuterie board from Lucia.
There’s no set assortment for the box you’ll receive, but the list of restaurants so far sounds more than worthwhile. One hundred percent of proceeds directly benefitting Holt sounds more than worthwhile.
Order a box online to pick up a box Saturday, Dec. 12 (with the intent to have a lazy, snack-filled Sunday) in a drive-thru at Hero by HG (3090 Olive St. in Victory Park). As of midday Monday, there were just 70 boxes left.
