Tastes Good and for a Good Cause Too

Via Chicago Foodies, we found out about USA Dine Out, a new program sponsored by San Pellegrino. Here is the deal; a select bunch of Chicago restaurants will be offering $25 and $35 fixed price lunches and dinner, respectively, in between August 19-23
and August 26–30. Every table gets a free bottle of water, and Pellegrino donates $1 to Share Out Strength. Now we all know $1 isn't a huge amount of money... but if you are planning on dining out in style anyway, doesn't it make sense to go to one of the participating restaurants?

A non-profit organizations, Share Our Strength fights hunger in this country by has inspiring and organizing individuals and businesses to to work together (and share their strength?). Their first priority is to end childhood hunger in America, "ensuring that the nearly 12 million American children facing hunger have access to the nutritious food they need to learn, grow and thrive."

A list of participating restaurants is after the jump; reservations are strongly encouraged.
