As we reported in this week's Counter Intelligence, members of the generous Twin Cities restaurant community is stepping up to support victims of earthquake-ravaged Nepal. As a reminder, here are three ways for diners to get involved:

From May 1 to May 8, co-owners Rashmi Bhattachan and Sarala Kattel of Gorkha Palace in northeast Minneapolis (pictured, above, in a Star Tribune file photo) are donating 20 percent of their gross sales to earthquake victims, through the nonprofit Association of Nepalis in Minnesota.

Himalayan Restaurant co-owners Naveen Shrestha and Pravin Shrestha will donate 100 percent of their south Minneapolis restaurant's proceeds to earthquake relief efforts from May 5 to May 7.

And Namaste Cafe in Uptown Minneapolis is leading an effort to raise $30,000 for earthquake-ravaged Nepal. Go here to donate.
