For a full decade now, Flavors of Fall, sponsored by BostonChefs.com and City Square Associates, has been bringing top tier chefs from restaurants in Cambridge and Somerville together for delicious food and drink, lively music and generous philanthropy - and this year's event, scheduled for Monday, November 11th is no different, just bigger. And better!As has become the custom, thanks to event co-sponsor The Charles Hotel, Flavors of Fall returns to Regattabar on the hotel's second floor from 6:30-8:30pm. Guests will get to enjoy seasonally-inspired bites from restaurants like Amelia's Trattoria, Belly, The Blue Room, Garden at the Cellar, Harvest, Henrietta's Table, Park, Rialto, Russell House, Sandrine's, UpStairs on the Square and West Bridge as well as craft cocktails from Noir, and beer and wine from Brooklyn Brewery and Dreyfus Ashby, respectively. The Jane Potter Trio will set the mood in the room and a silent auction will entice attendees with unique items like a Sonos PLAYBAR wireless stereo system, their very own raised-bed organic vegetable garden courtesy of Green City Growers, or a rock climbing tutorial for two at Brooklyn Boulders Somerville.
But how do you top ten years of do-gooding? This year's event, which will bring the total of funds raised to well over $100,000, features a swanky, oyster-and-hors d'oeuvres-filled VIP hour from 5:30-6:30pm with an array of cheese from Formaggio Kitchen, freshly shucked oysters from Island Creek Oysters and a few tasty morsels from Harvard Square newcomer Alden & Harlow. As they sip on bubbly, guests will have the chance to mix and mingle (and catch up) with beneficiaries from previous years, many of whom will be available to chat about their current undertakings and how their organizations have grown.
Proceeds from ticket sales and the silent auction will all be donated to Community Cooks, an elaborate network of volunteers who donate their time and their kitchen skills to prepare and deliver home-cooked meals to the vulnerable populations in Cambridge, Somerville and beyond. Community Cooks Director Daniele Levine says "We're so excited to be a part of this milestone event, which has benefited so many great local non-profits - including some of our partners in the community. It seems fitting that for its tenth year Flavors of Fall is supporting an organization that not only impacts Cambridge and Somerville but reaches even further into surrounding communities like Medford, Waltham and Lowell."
