Maverick restaurant manager and sommelier Andrew Dombrowski was so affected by the murder of Gaspar Puch-tzek, a line cook at Maverick’s sister restaurant Hog & Rocks, that he’s organizing a benefit to help raise money for funeral costs. Puch-tzek was out smoking a cigarette with two co-workers when two suspects approached them, asked what gang he claimed, and although Puch-tzek said he wasn’t a gang member, one of the suspect shot him in the face. Puch-tzek died last Wednesday.
A silent auction and a benefit will be held on Sept. 17 at Hog & Rocks from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
