Lou Plans Another Epic Bake Sale

Mailea Weger may still be a relative newcomer to Middle Tennessee with her innovative East Nashville wine bar lou, but she has quickly ingrained herself in the community thanks to her tireless efforts to support marginalized populations. In the past, she has invited a cadre of talented bakers and chefs to join her chef de cuisine Mike Kida and pastry chef Sierra Cody to create baked goods for causes like Thistle Farms, Planned Parenthood of Tennessee and North Mississippi and the ACLU of Tennessee.

Her next bake sale and open-air market on the lawn at lou will be on Sunday, June 13, from 10 a.m. until they sell out of goods. The beneficiary of her largesse will be ACLU Tennessee, with funds specifically earmarked for their efforts to help fight anti-trans legislation in the state. For the “LGBTQ Rights Are Human Rights” event, Weger has invited a really impressive roster of chefs and vendors to participate.

So, good news/bad news, with this amazing collection of talent, big crowds will probably show up and buy out their supplies pretty quickly. But on the plus side, if you only get your second/third/ninth choice of baked goods, it’s still probably going to be something pretty special! Get there early and come hungry so you can help out this worthy cause!
