The morning after Thanksgiving, Friday, Nov. 25, while many were getting ready to shop for Christmas presents and deals, Americano Steak House was hosting a Black Friday breakfast to benefit less fortunate children in Carter County. The breakfast, which took place at Americano Steak House in Roan Mountain, grossed over $3,600 while serving pancakes, eggs, and biscuits and gravy, to benefit TLC Community Center in Elizabethton. The funds raised will directly go to provide Christmas presents and diapers to less fortunate children in Carter County.
“We sold many pre-sale tickets to the event and others came to eat great food and support the children,” explains Angie Odom, founder and executive director of TLC. “The attendees were excited to come eat and be sure children in Carter County had something under the tree this Christmas. There was definitely some good old-fashioned, heart felt giving going on.” Angie continues, “We are grateful for Americano putting this breakfast together. A wonderful thank you to them for all the supplies of food, plates and help in the kitchen. Thank you just doesn’t seem like enough.”
“Giving back to our community is the foundation of our restaurant,” replies Troy Boane, operating manager for Americano. “And children touch our hearts above all. We were honored to host this event for TLC.”

Every summer TLC delivers over 75,000 meals to local children. “The goal is to reach children that might not have transportation or access to food.
