Weary of the rain? Well, it’s probably hanging around a bit longer, so don’t retire those raincoats quite yet. In fact, the drippy stuff is supposed to stay until sometime Saturday.
Oops! Didn’t anybody tell Mother Nature that the North Texas Food Bank’s 17th Annual Empty Bowls is taking place Friday at the Meyerson? Wouldn’t have done any good. She still was gonna rain on the foodie parade.
Ah, but those wonderful NTFB folks were prepared for such a situation and had a back-up plans in place.
According to NTFB’s Anna Kurian, “If it rains, our plan is to move the VIP entry inside. VIPs will be able to enter starting at 10:30 a.m. at the main entrance on Flora Street and at the Lower Level — Basement Area entry — where we will also move the handcrafted bowls.
“We do hope that Mother Nature cooperates, but if it does rain, we know that our guests will undoubtedly appreciate a nice cup of soup even more!”
And that soup will be provided by Blue Mesa Grill, Celebration Market and Restaurant, Empire Baking Co. & Mozzarella Company, Green Door Public House, Kroger, Low Country Quisine, McAlister’s Deli, Meso Maya, Mi Cocina, NTFB Community Kitchen, Panera Bread, Royal Cup Coffee, Snappy Salads, SPIN! Neapolitan Pizza, Tejano Brothers, True Food Kitchen, Urban Crust and Wolfgang Puck Catering plus cheese from Paula Lambert’s Mozzarella Co.
Tickets are still available.
