On July 29, local service people will exchange their pots and pans for boxing gloves in this year’s Restaurant Rumble. The contenders — from restaurant owners to food truck chefs — will spend the summer doing both intense boxing training and fundraising. All proceeds go towards building a new boxing ring and community centre for East Vancouver youth. Finalists will be announced July 28, with the first fight on July 29. Support a good cause and your favorite restaurant, and find out who will be this year’s Restaurant Rumble Champion.
