If you're a Food Lover, Don't Miss This!

I love food.  I don't know a whole lot about really fine food, like chef David Kinch or his super-glam gourmet food blogging girlfriend Pim does, but I do know that when I get to dine at Manresa, or other Michelin-starred restaurants, it's a transcendent experience for me.  That's why it's exciting for me to let you guys in on an amazing culinary opportunity; it's called Menu for Hope.

What is Menu for Hope?  It's a fabulous foodie charity raffle organized each year by Pim, of Chez Pim fame.  She sweet-talks a bunch of celebrity chefs, world-renowned  restaurants, food writers, and other culinary superstars to donate mega-prizes.  Each $10 raffle ticket gets you in the running for the prize of your choosing.  And these aren't ordinary prizes; here's a sample:  Dinner for two at a slew of great restaurants, both local and international, gourmet gift baskets from internationally known shops and kitchens, high-end cooking apparatuses, and signed copies of books by famous peeps!

Love Apple Farm is participating by opening our gate for a personal tour for two led by chef David Kinch. We'll plunge your hand into our over 100 degree biodynamic compost pile, let you gather eggs from under our fancy chickens, and pluck a radish straight from the ground as your first amuse bouche of the day. The lucky winners of this prize then head off to Manresa (one of Gourmet Magazine's picks for top restaurant in the U.S.) for an unbelievable bazillion-course dinner with premium wine pairings, courtesy of Chez Pim and Manresa.  Can you imagine winning this for a measly $10?

Food bloggers around the world host the regional prize groupings, although you can try to win any prize in the world.  If you want to get a tour of the el Bulli experimental kitchen by chef Ferran Adrià (in Spain), then feel free to put your raffle ticket in that "hat."

For U.S. West Coast prize offerings, click over to Rasa Malaysia.  For other regions, see the full list at Chez Pim.  To go directly to the donation and enter raffle page, go to the administration site, Firstgiving.

So very tempting- I still haven't made it out to Manresa. The serious eats cookbook pack looks divine too- and I got lucky and won a copy of Fergus Henderson's new one from them before.. Hmmm.
Bravo for all the awesome blogs that make this happen!
