The cuisine of more than two dozen of the Triangle's best restaurants, catering firms, beverage purveyors and food trucks is featured under one roof for one price for a great cause. This culinary extravaganza raises money for the Ronald McDonald House of Chapel Hill, the home-away-from-home for families with seriously ill children who travel to the town for specialty care. The gala's motto: "Giving never tasted so good!"
