Back Bay Restaurant's Loss Is Zoo's Gain



Lions To Feast On Capitol Grille Steaks



On a busy weekend night, a table at Boston's Capitol Grille might be reserved for a party of fat cats. On Thursday, the restaurant hand-delivered steak dinners to them, at the zoo.
Lions at the Southwick Zoo in Mendon are the benefactors of the Back Bay power outage as the Capitol Grille Restaurant is donating 2,500 pounds of grade A steaks to the zoo.
A transformer fire caused a Boston power outage on Tuesday night. The restaurant has since had it's power restored and is fully operational. according to Capital Grille spokesman Hunter Robinson.
"It's great to be able to put this meat to good use knowing that we can't use it in the restaurant, so it's good to turn a negative to a positive," Hunter said.
"It costs thousands of dollars for us to feed the cats," zoo owner Betsy Brewer told the Milford Daily News.
The zoo's lions, tigers and leopards eat about 15 pounds of meat at each feeding. Brewer said zookeepers feed them every three days or so.
