Carmel, CA  (July 27, 2013) — Creative cuisine and impeccable service have long been the recipe for success at Rio Grill in Carmel, and no one leaves this locals’ favorite hungry.
 
 At the same time, thousands of Monterey County residents battle hunger every day. So to honor its 30^th anniversary in The Crossroads, Carmel, the Rio Grill team will hold a fundraiser to support The Food Bank of Monterey County as they work to eliminate hunger in our community.
 
 Since 1983, the Rio has been the place to meet friends, enjoy vibrant, flavorful food and relax with a refreshing cocktail or glass of wine. On Thursday, Nov. 14, the restaurant will mark it’s 30^th anniversary by treating customers to the flavors and memories from the 1980s, ’90s and ’00s, with hopes of raising $10,000 for The Food Bank, whose mission is “to lead community efforts in the awareness and elimination of hunger in Monterey County.”  The team at Rio Grill wants to thank its long time loyal customers for years of support and helping make Rio Grill the iconic restaurant it has become on the Monterey Peninsula.
