"86 Hunger" Dinners Coming Up
Colder weather, darker mornings, the return of squash... It's fall, people, which is just a hop, skip and a snow drift away from being holiday season. If you're looking to combine a night out with your annual philanthropy, consider the six upcoming "86 Hunger" dinners coming to the calendar this fall and winter. The Greater Chicago Food Depository's annual dinner series turns over proceeds from each dinner to their network of food pantries, soup kitchens and shelters -- all of which have seen an increase in use of 64% over the past three years. Here's the dining schedule:
West Town Tavern, Susan Goss - October 24, 2010
Spiaggia, Tony Mantuano - November 16, 2010
NAHA, Carrie Nahabedian - January 11, 2011
Custom House, Perry Hendrix - January 27, 2011
Boka, Giuseppe Tentori - February 1, 2011
Heaven on Seven, Jimmy Bannos - February 23, 2011
I mean, if you're going to shell out $150 (the going rate for an individual ticket to any of the dinners) at Spiaggia anyway, may as well make it for a good cause, right? Boka will probably put extra gold leaf on your food for being such a good citizen! (No guarantees...) Information on each dinner, including location, time and menu, as well as tickets are available online. (The menu for Sunday's West Town Tavern dinner is up now! Drool!)
