Greetings!

If you get a chance, go downtown tonight and check out the first Tucson Food Truck Round-up! featuring a number of Tucson's modern chuck wagons serving up dinner and dessert tonight. Dinnerware Artspace, a non-profit art exhibition space, is the beneficiary of tonight's event.

Another event downtown that will be raising funds for a local non-profit will be on Wednesday, the 16th, at Downtown Kitchen + Cocktails - a "Celebrity Happy Hour" featuring Corey Dane of Yelp and Casa de los Niņos Executive Director Susie Huhn. The two of them will be tending bar from 4 to 6:30 pm, with all the tips they collect going to support Casa de los Niņos. More information is available at Yelp.

Thanksgiving menus are featured in this week's On The Menu.
