SAT 16 | We all love a good buffet, particularly if the food is quality and the price is reasonable. Here are two ways to improve an already winning idea: donate the money to charities in need, and add in a free glass of sangria. EATaly presents Cooking for Riel, a buffet dinner for a good cause that gets extra points for the terrible(/awesome) pun. Sure, there’s something disconcerting about the fact that stuffing our faces with free-flow Mediterranean food will somehow benefit those who are in desperate need of help and finances, but the fact is, this is one of those rare cases where you get to be a hedonist AND a philanthropist at the same time. Don’t question it, just enjoy. Only 50 tickets are available, so grab them at Meta House or make reservations via Mesterharm@nullgmx.net by 5pm, Thursday 14.
