Dining Out for Life has been raising money for HIV/AIDS care and services for over 16 years in Vancouver. Tonight saw a record breaking amount of restaurants donating 25% of their food sales to A Loving Spoonful and the Vancouver Friends for Life Society, both of which provide food and services to people living with terminal illnesses such as HIV & AIDS.
Volunteers, led by The Finer Details crew were scattered around town helping spread the word. I got to cover Cambie, South Granville, Kits, North Van and West Van which had just over 60 restaurants for me to drop in on in four hours. Between driving/walking between restaurants and chatting up staff, volunteers, and patrons alike, time was short and my list shrunk down from 40 to 23 at the end of my shift at 9:30.
I closed out the night at Society with some appies, boozy Oreo milkshake, and one perfect jalapeno mac & cheese ball. If you haven't been, add it to your list! This brings me to 3 minutes to midnight, reaching for something else to say as my brain turns into mush so I'll leave this with me hoping for more days of eating out for good causes =)
