Cambridge, MA . . . (October 16, 2012)  Halloween and the election will be over; the holiday season will still seem so far away, so what are you supposed to do to occupy your time come mid-November? Go to a fancy shmancy tasting event, that's what! That's right, BostonChefs.com is throwing its annual autumn fundraiser on Monday, November 12th at Regattabar from 5:30 to 8:30 PM. Now in its ninth year,  Flavors of Fall--co-sponsored by City Square Associates, The Charles Hotel and Cambridge Savings Bank--brings together a dozen of the area's top restaurants in support of a local charity.

This year's beneficiary, The Possible Project, utilizes entrepreneurship to inspire young people who have untapped potential, empowering them with the skills required to achieve enduring personal and professional success--skills like leadership, professionalism, self-confidence, teamwork, and resilience. The Cambridge-based after school program enables high school students to start and run their own businesses, participate in a collaborative work experience, and receive individualized advising on their post-high school pathways.

 

Returning Cantabrigian restaurants--Rialto, Russell House Tavern, The Blue Room, Bergamot, Garden at the Cellar, Harvest, Henrietta's Table, Sandrine's and UpStairs on the Square--will be showcasing their ridiculously tasty wares alongside Flavors newcomers like Amelia's Trattoria and recent neighborhood additions Belly and West Bridge. And because hungry do-gooders are bound to get thirsty as well, Brooklyn Beer, Dreyfus, Ashby & Co., Noir Bar and Native Waters will be onsite serving their beer, wine, cocktails and water.
