There are two great food related events coming to Dallas this summer that you won’t want to miss. If you’re in town or if you can make it into town, they’re both well worth the time and money. Not to mention the fact that you will be eating for a good cause…other than just satiating your appetite.
The 24th Annual Taste of Dallas
From July 9-11, you’ll be able to sample menus from some of the best restaurants in town at Dallas’ Fair Park. In addition to all the delicious morsels, there will be plenty to keep you and your family entertained for hours. Cooking demonstrations, musicians, artists and sports entertainment all make this well worth the $5 admission. But, best of all, the proceeds go to benefit the American Heart Association.
KRLD Restaurant Week
From August 16-22, you can enjoy a three course meal at dozens of participating area restaurants and have $7 of your meal go to the North Texas Food Bank (an organization that especially needs an extra hand during this economy). And I just received a message on Facebook (yes, I follow the Restaurant Week on Facebook) that this year’s preview weekend will be on Friday, August 13th.
