Sure, the winter so far has been relatively warm compared to years past. The folks in the northeast have taken the brunt of the cold weather. Still, it’s not a done deal until the end of March and even then who knows.
But as any kid who has tried to spell a word with alphabet soup knows, soup is good anytime. But on Friday, March 1, it is going to be hmm, hmm good at the 14th Annual Empty Bowls. This annual fav has everyone from unknown to too-well-known scurrying around the upper and lower lobbies of the Meyerson looking like Oliver. And they’re not disappointed thanks to soups, breads and desserts provided by Kroger and several local restaurants.
In addition to the stellar people-watching, the Young Strings of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra will be performing in the atrium.
And you won’t be leaving empty-handed. No, siree. Area artisans have created handcrafted bowls for guests to take home to soup in the future.
Since all proceeds from the soup-a-thon benefit the North Texas Food Bank, why not put a table together and entourage to lunch? Or, better yet, why not splurge and buy a table yourself and invite your favs to soup it up with you? Tickets are going for
- $25 (lunch but no take-home bowl),
- $35 in advance (lunch plus bowl),
- $45 at the door (lunch plus bowl) and
- VIP $100 (you get in a half hour before everyone else and feel very special)
