City centre restaurant Bloc is out to change the world, one taco at a time.

The kitchen run by Glasgow’s Mad Chef - a.k.a Danny McLaren - announced today that they’ll be running a three-week #EattoFeed special designed to help refugees in Calais.

The Calais banger - a Middle Eastern-inspired taco - costs £5, and every penny of that will go to feeding those living in the ‘Jungle’ refugee camp in France via Calais Kitchens and Refugee Community Kitchen.

In a video appeal, Danny explained: “It was born through a wee bit of brainstorming on a return trip from Calais.

“The camp is getting disbanded soon, so help is needed.

“One person can’t do everything, everyone needs to work as a team. If everybody buys it once we’ll make a difference.”

The target is £1,500 over three weeks, which Danny will use to buy supplies and take them to Calais on October 21.

The ingredients have been donated by suppliers free of charge until the target is reached - so now it’s up to you to head to Bloc, grab some good eats and feed someone else in the process.

Danny hopes to roll the idea out to other Glasgow restaurants, reaching one a month so there’s money coming in all year round.

He added: “We can only make it happen if we do it together. I don’t see typecasts, I just see a human with a story. Everybody’s got a story.”
