As Maverick begins to pick up the pieces from its devastating fire a couple of weeks back, its popular brunch service has gone dark. Never fear: sister restaurant Hi-Lo is picking up the pieces, hosting Maverick Weekend Brunches, with classic Maverick dishes (fried chicken too!), on November 23-24, December 7-8, and December 14-15 (reservations here). They'll be accepting donations to the Friends of Maverick fundraiser for the other folks in the building affected by the fire; nearly $2,600 has already been raised online. [EaterWire]
