Ryan Braun's and Aaron Rodgers' restaurant has not just given the community food, but has made it a point to give its fair share back. An event Wednesday night is part of that commitment.
They buy local. And when local tragedy hits, they try to assist. Managers at 8 Twelve MVP bar and restaurant say they want their establishment to be more than a restaurant.
