When we're asked for adjectives to describe Austin's food service and culinary community, words like talented and creative naturally spring to mind. However, based on their stellar track record in the fundrasing department, we think generous should automatically be added to the regular description. Even in the face of an economic downturn and a summer that was painfully slow for business, our good neighbors in the food business can still be counted on to raise funds. Whether you need to raise money for cultural organizations (Umlauf Sculpture Garden Party, AMOA's Dolce Vida, the Austin Girl's Choir), community groups (Communities in School's Food for Thought, The Green Corn Project), health issues (Dine for Life, the Rib-Ticklin' Affair), hunger prevention (Share Our Strength, Eat, Drink, Watch Movies), or for victims of the recent terrorist bombing (Fork It Over), Austin chefs and restaurateurs will tie on an apron, fill up a chafing dish and help you out.
