Oct 022014
Decades ago my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer, she’s been in remission for years and three months ago she found out her breast cancer returned. My other grandmother passed away years ago from the disease, so I’m always grateful for the awareness that October brings about prevention and finding a cure for breast cancer. There’s a handful of restaurants giving back to breast cancer research and various foundations this month.
Here’s our picks for dining out with a cause in October:
- 4 Rivers Smokehouse’s The Sweet Shop: Strawberry Basil Bayou Bar, $3.25, vanilla blondie bar with basil, topped with The Sweet Shop’s fresh strawberry house frosting. 100 percent of proceeds will benefit Florida Hospital’s Breast Cancer Fund during October.
- Taverna Opa Orlando: Phyllo Our Ta-Tas, $6, nest of honey shredded house made phyllo dough topped with strawberry custard and whipped cream. 100 percent of proceeds will benefit Florida Hospital’s Breast Cancer Fund during October.
- Tijuana Flats: Turn your tacos pink for $1.00 and purchase Just in Queseo Hot Sauce for $5.00, proceeds will benefit The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
- Rocco’s Tacos: Taco & Tequila Tuesdays features all you-can-eat tacos including chicken, pork, steak, beef, mushroom, shrimp or mahi tacos, each with a handful of fixings, for $14.95 per person. During October, Rocco’s Tacos will donate a percentage of their Taco Tuesday sales to breast cancer research via Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
