„Th
ferently,” he said. "So when we
reached a point that we were able
to contribute back to the corn-
> munity, I was happy that I stayed
true to my word."
Mr. Weinzweig had the same
vision. "Our mission has always
been to bring the Zingerman's ex-
perience to as many people as
possible — even to those who
can't afford to eat here," said Mr.
Weinzweig, a Chicago native and
is also a U-of-M graduate. "Our
goal has never been to open a
chain of restaurants across the
country. It doesn't fit with our
principles."
The partners said they are
thrilled about being honored, yet
embarrassed at the same time.
"That's not why we did any of
this," Mr. Weinzweig said. "We
just wanted to make a difference.
And we're glad that we could."
Proceeds from the dinner will
go toward food and shelter for
Russian refugees resettling in
Ann Arbor. 111
