Finale Of The “Return To The Restaurant Rumble” Series

Our friends over at Warren Lane Pictures just sent us the finale episode of their Return To The Restaurant Rumble documentary series for Aprons For Gloves, the boxing tourney that pit Vancouver restaurant staffers against one another for a fantastic cause this past summer. They’ve done a wonderful job. The scene with Chris Dzaka and his parents made us choke the hell up, and Chopper had us blubbering like crazy. And with the recent fire at the East Side Boxing Club, the tears didn’t stop there. Sigh. It’s quite the emotional ride. You can donate to the fire fund here and watch the previous three episodes there.
