Les Dames d'Escoffier Austin Chapter Food Fight



Do you like a good food fight? Right now you can throw elbows over some of the best culinary experiences in Austin during the The Austin Chapter of Les Dames d'Escoffier's annual fundraiser and you won't even get dirty.



Through this Friday, November 12, 2010, until 11:59 p.m, you can bid on experiences as diverse as (hold for the shameless self-promotion) a farmers market tour with yours truly followed by a special lunch cooked for you by the incomparable Chef David Bull to a private cocktail class with Tipsy Texan David Alan to a French dinner for eight at Aquarelle.  You can fight over cookbooks, gift certificates to Boggy Creek Farm  or a pizza party from Bola pizza.  It's a foodie's online auction dream come true.



Proceeds from the auction go to Les Dames d'Escoffier International's Austin Chapter to support education, advocacy and philanthropy.  Austin's chapter provides scholarships to women pursuing culinary and hospitality education and supports the Green Tables initiative that connects local farmers with local school cafeterias to ensure kids receive healthy food.
