Where to Eat on Saturday: Menus for Chi Fan for Charity
Your chance to wine, dine and party – all in the name of a noble cause – is only three days away and restaurants have been quickly selling out. Still, a few excellent venues have tickets remaining, so read on for more details (and for the exclusive menus) on where to take a friend or two for a fine meal this weekend. And of course, there's the party with free-flow booze at Hatsune afterward.
But what is this event we speak of? Chi Fan for Charity. I expect you've heard all about it by now, but if you're still in the dark, read more here about the Saturday, November 2, evening of excess and altruism.
Tempted? This should seal the deal. We present you with a few of the exclusive menus still available at this year's Chi Fan for Charity dinners:
