Stuff We Love

Leslie Bilbey and Josh Gray of Oakwood Proper Burgers in Traverse City won’t just be slinging patties and fries this weekend. On Saturday, April 11, they’re hosting a fundraiser for fellow chef Tim Bergstrom of Bergstrom’s Burgers, who has been battling cancer for over a year. The goal of the fundraiser is to make 1,000 burgers in a single day, with all proceeds going to Bergstrom and his family. Oakwood will have a second grill going and extended hours 8am-10pm on Saturday to get to the milestone, and if weather permits, they’ll open up their outdoor seating and bar area, so fingers crossed for sunshine! Last but not least, gift cards purchased on April 11 count toward the fundraising goal. See all the details at facebook.com/oakwoodproperburgers. And be sure to visit Oakwood at 1108 E. 8th Street and Bergstrom’s at 905 US-31 S, both in Traverse City.
