Yemassee, S.C. (WSAV) - With the snowstorm still making roads unsafe, one local restaurant owner turned time off into a chance to give back to the community. "I just love cooking," Tyger of Belly Full by Tyger said. "Even when I'm off, I love cooking." That’s exactly what he did yesterday, even though his restaurant had to close due to the weather. As the snow piled up outside, Tyger knew he couldn’t open his doors, but that didn’t mean he had to stop cooking. Instead, he decided to put his passion for food to good use. "I figured, hey, this is the perfect time. I got food in the restaurant, and there are people out there who need it that’s hungry," he said. "And here I am, just looking at my truck like, oh, Lord, I got ice on my windshield. You know, there are some people out there with way bigger problems.” So, he went in, cooked up a meal, and served it around. Tyger wasn’t going to let the weather keep him from helping folks out. He cooked up 50 meals and took them around to the homeless in the area, as well as frontline workers braving the winter storm. “Sometimes I see the DOT passing by, and if I'm in the restaurant and I've got a time frame when I know they're coming back through, I'll pass it out to them,” said Tyger. “Or I'll just be traveling and passing it out because I believe they're the one that's helping us on the road to safety.” His mission was simple: to make sure those who might be struggling to get a hot meal, not have to worry, even as the storm raged on. Of course, Tyger knows that staying closed for days at a time can hurt his business, but that hasn’t stopped him from showing up for his community. “I have also marked down my prices because I know at this time right here, it could be hard for some families.  So, when I open back up on Tuesday, I will be having specials,” said Tyger. "That’s my way of giving back to the community as well." Many small businesses say that just two or three days closed can make a big dent in their bottom line. So, they hope folks will remember that and come back once they open their doors again.
