Seems like Sean Brock already had enough to do operating Joyland and The Continental while also adding the finishing touches to his latest and greatest restaurant creation, Audrey in East Nashville. But the chef has wasted no time in jumping in to aid his fellow hospitality workers affected by the Christmas Day bombing downtown.
