No Kid Hungry
Notice how I haven't been writing here much? Yeah sorry about that.
Trying to have a personal life, combined with consulting and travel have really made "The Scotch Blog" a red headed step-child. It may be surprising to some of you, but The Scotch Blog is a side-line of a side-line - and NOT my primary focus in life.
ANYWAY, I wanted to give a shout out to a great charity "Save Our Strength" which has the noble ambition of trying to prevent any child from ever going hungry. If you don't support that, you are a complete and utter bastard.
SOS also has a number of fund-raising initiatives. One of those is called "A Tasteful Pursuit":
Share Our Strength’s A Tasteful Pursuit® presented by Lexus is a unique dinner series that features the nation’s hottest chefs joining together to make sure no child in America grows up hungry. As they tour the country, these amazing chefs create delicious, multi-coursed dinners paired with ultra-premium wines at some of the country’s finest dining establishments. Guests enjoy the company of these chefs during their dinners and participate in auctions featuring one-of-a-kind culinary, travel and lifestyle items.
In 2007, the culinary community’s collective talent, generosity and dedication helped raise $600,000 for our efforts to surround children with the nutritious food they need to learn, grow and thrive.
The 2008 tour will include award winning chefs from around the country and make stops at some of the hottest culinary destinations.
This Thursday, I'll be attending The Tasteful Pursuit taking place in Washington DC at Charlie Palmer's. This one also happens to be co-hosted by my very good friends at The Balvenie.
Look for me if you are also attending, If not, see if there's a Tasteful Pursuit event near you. If not, seriously consider supporting the charity some other way.

..or possibly a Burmese General. Or is that the same thing?
