Charity and Fine Dining, a “Stone’s Throw” Away

The SF-Marin Food Bank has been a staple in our community for years, and they’ve been forging relationships with local restaurants lately, too.

This year, Russian Hill restaurant Stones Throw is helping the food bank by hosting a dinner series titled “Eat Like a Chef, Drink Like a Somm.” This program brings visiting chefs and commeliers to Marin County to create special menus based on the food that the chefs enjoy themselves!

These special dinners at Stones Throw will be held on the last Monday of each month, all the way through June. And if you attend, you can eat out without the guilt—all proceeds from food sales will benefit the SF-Marin Food Bank.

But it’s not all on you—on each day of the dinner series, Stones Throw staff will be volunteering at the Food Bank. Even you can volunteer and contribute to this worthy cause if you so desire—Stones Throw is also collecting non-perishable food donations from diners who attend the dinners. Remember to check the SF-Marin Food Bank website for more information on how to donate and volunteer!

Here’s the official schedule for the rest of the program, courtesy of Inside Scoop SF:

The schedule, as it currently stands:

· March 31: AQ chef Mark Liberman and sommelier Kristen Capella.

· April 28: To be announced.

· May 19 (the day after Memorial Day): A16 chef Chris Thompson and owner/wine director Shelley Lindgren

· June 30: Perbacco chef Staffan Terje

The dinners cost $105 per person, inclusive of tax and gratuity; optional beverage pairings are $65. Tickets are available via Sosh.
