LIVE TO EAT, EAT FOR LIFE: Today, good deed doing gets ridiculously simple. Eat out, help save lives. Wipe your hands, grab a mint, pat your stomach and be proud. Over 100 Seattle restaurants are participating in today’s Dining Out For Life. These are only a handful of more than 3,500 restaurants in 55 cities across the U.S. and Canada that donate a portion of the day’s proceeds to support the missions of AIDS agencies throughout North America. DOFL is a tremendous way to raise money to bring AIDS to its knees, and it’s a great boost for the local economy, making our dinner satisfying in oh so many ways. There’s no way to pick favorites off the tantalizing list of participating restaurants, but anyone interested/hungry can check out the local participants here. We don’t often need an excuse to give the stove and dishwasher the day off, but we can’t think of many better reasons for dining out than to support everyone battling this epidemic. more ›
