When the nightmare came down Chicago Street, one business owner stood strong and protected her business with nothing but her bare hands and some kitchen utensiles! “I know my favorite customers need to eat!” confirmed the owner, Uthaiwan Toom Wiitanen, or “Toom” to her friends. “I stay, my customers stay, the undead need to GO!”
“I never let them come in again! You see how dirty their fingernails were?” With her duty done, she returned to her loyal customers.
“I never had Grand Opening since I opened the business. My country is having a hard time from the flood. I was thinking, I would like to do Fundraising and let customers eat free all day and any donation money will be send to help people in Thailand. I will send the donations to the Princess Foundation in Bangkok,Thailand. Please come to enjoy and help my people.”
Tomorrow, November 2nd at 12.00 P.M, there will be a ceremony with Mayor David Kaptain at her restaurant. Please bring your friends and your help, this is very important to a very dear business owner.
