If you're like me and wondered why April came and went without the usual anti-hunger fundraising dinner, here's the scoop on what's happening. They've created a trio of mouthwatering events, so just pick the party that fits both your palate and your pocketbook and do your part to beef up Austin's total donation. Reservations can be made by calling 899-9290.
Space is limited for the first two events, so call now to secure a place.
Seventy percent of the funds raised by these events stays in the Austin area. The menu, written in hokey hillybilly-ese, features popular Texas cafe classics as well as barbecue. Also in the 1600 block of S. Congress, contractors working for the Trudy's outfit have stripped the former Shaggy's location down to the bare walls in a total restoration. It's rumored the new eatery will have a Southwestern menu with Mike Barnes as the chef. There's nothing new about fundraising events in Austin, but a friend-raiser is a new concept in River City.
