Feast of Five Chefs Second Harvest Benefit Dinner

Wednesday, November 8

Since 1986, Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin has put more than 100 million meals on the tables of the 1 in 9 southwestern Wisconsin residents who face hunger every day. The least we can do is help them a little in their efforts. On Wednesday, November 8, Johnny Delmonico’s Steakhouse will host Feast of Five Chefs, Food Fight’s annual Second Harvest Benefit Dinner. We invite you to indulge in this truly unique dining experience, as five of our Executive Chefs will be crafting a signature 5-course meal with wine pairings from Hamel Family Wines. $50 from every ticket benefits Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin. Since $1 equals 3 meals, that means 150 meals will be provided to those in need for every ticket purchased for this special dinner.

A Special Beer…and Special Menus

October 30 – November 30
Want to do some good and eat and drink well throughout November? We’ve collaborated with Next Door Brewing Company to brew a special seasonal craft beer especially for Second Harvest…and each restaurant has created a limited-time menu for the entire month. We’ll donate $1 to Second Harvest for each pint of beer sold, and each dish ordered off the special menu. The beer will be offered for the entire month of November, or until it sells out.

A Special Cocktail from #lovetitos

October 30 – November 30
Love has always been at the heart of Tito’s Handmade Vodka. Tito asked you to “tell 20 of your closest friends, and we’ll just keep this thing rolling.” You did, and every time one of you shared your love for Tito’s Handmade Vodka with your friends and family Tito’s grew — into new communities, new states, and even new countries. Now Tito’s Handmade Vodka reciprocates by pouring that love back into the people and organizations that nurture, support, and empower their local communities and causes. Tito’s Handmade Vodka has partnered with Food Fight restaurants to offer a special Tito’s cocktail on our Second Harvest menus. For every cocktail you order, they’ll donate $1 to Second Harvest Foodbank, up to $5,000.

Share Your Holidays

October 30 – November 5
During the first week of November we’ll host our “Share Your Holidays” fundraiser. Each restaurant will add a line to their customer receipt, giving you the opportunity to donate and/or round up your bill to the nearest dollar as a donation to the Food Fight Against Hunger campaign.

When your host seats you, you’ll get a Second Harvest flier, which explains the program. A donation jar will be available, when appropriate, at the host desk for cash donations. And because our employees are community-involved, too, each restaurant is competing with all the others in an employee donation competition…with Food Fight matching every dollar contributed by our staff!

The Grand Finale

Wednesday, December 6
Speaking of charitably involved employees, many of your favorite chefs, servers, hosts, and bartenders will be volunteering to bring it all home during the Second Harvest Grand Finale December 6 at the Alliant Energy Center. Groups working in shifts will sort donations from the previous month in a Sort-a-thon, and others will participate in a phone bank to be broadcast live on NBC affiliate WMTV, Channel 15, from 9:30 to 10:45 pm.

We hope you’ll join us in these very special events to help a very worthy cause. Not only will you feel great, you’ll enjoy some fantastic fall flavors that can’t be experienced anywhere else.
