Help Rebuild Heritage Restaurant & Caviar Bar
Our Story:
A malfunctioning hood motor, suddenly went out of balance, sparked, and ignited a fire. The Chicago Fire Department arrived quickly and we are thankful no one was hurt. However, this unforeseen event has not just damaged our kitchen but has momentarily paused operations.

The Impact:
Currently, our kitchen stands inoperable, expected to remain so for the next 2 weeks. This isn’t just about repairs; it’s about keeping the spirit of our community alive. Every day our doors stay closed, we are not only facing the challenge of repairing the damage but also the daunting task of supporting our employees financially and covering our operational expenses during this unexpected closure.

Our Goal:
We've turned to GoFundMe with a goal of raising $100,000 for the losses that insurance may not cover. These funds will be used directly for:
  • Financial support for our hardworking employees, who are the heartbeat of our restaurant.
  • Covering operational expenses to ensure we can bounce back without crippling debt.
  • Cleaning up the aftermath of the fire, which includes smoke and water damage repair.
  • Purchasing new equipment to replace what was lost, ensuring we meet our standards of quality and safety.

How You Can Help:
Any contribution, no matter how small, is immensely appreciated. Your support means keeping a dream alive, sustaining a space where food brings people together, where laughter fills the room, and where community thrives.

Our Promise:
In return for your generosity and support, we promise to keep you updated every step of the way. We will share our triumphs and our challenges as we rebuild what was lost. Our kitchen is more than a business; it’s a home to us, our employees, and every soul we've had the pleasure of serving.

Closing Thoughts:
From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you. Your support during this challenging time means the world to us. Together, with your help, we will reignite the stoves, sharpen our knives, and once again fill our space with love and laughter.

With all our love and gratitude,
Tiffany + Guy
