Going on around Town

For whatever reason, the end of summer also means the start of a whole lot. Within the next couple of weeks, there are a million things happening in Baltimore. Including:

• On Thursday, the 23rd, Baltimore International College is holding an open house for their food enthusiast classes - and it's focused on French food.
• September 23rd is also Dining Out for Life - Moveable Feast's annual fundraiser. Area restaurants donate a portion of their proceeds (from 20 to 50%) to to the organization which, among other things, delivers meals to homebound people with HIV/AIDS. This year, we're either going to Hautedogcarte or to Clementine - we haven't been to Hautedogcarte yet, but Clementine is donating the full 50% to Moveable Feast, and it seems like that kind of generosity should be rewarded.
• Finally, if you'd like, you can wrap up next week by trying out to be on The Next Food Network Star. On Sunday, September 26th, the show is holding auditions from 10 AM to 3 PM at the Pier 5 Hotel (711 Eastern Avenue, Baltimore). To audition, you'll need two recent photos, a resume, and a completed application (which you can download here). If you go, let me know please. I SO want to hear about it.
