A trio of dedicated Franklin County restaurant people – Danny Itzkovitz, Patrick Kelly and Zack Craig – returned Monday to the devastation, wrought by Hurricane Helene in Horseshoe Beach, shown above. The three left Monday evening with a food truck and a camper as they set about serving first responders, work crews and the general public three complete meals a day, to about 200 people per meal, for three days.
