And you thought you were having a bad day
"I never imagined my apartment would go up in flames," Nicolas Hutchinson told City Pages. Who expects that? The Uptown resident was just one of many left to couch surf after a fire destroyed an apartment building and caused minor damage to nearby Dunn Brother's and Bruegger's Bagels. Tonight neighbors, family, and friends will gather at a nearby restaurant and try to help those displaced.

The event room was packed at Solera last night as some of the area's top chefs worked together to create a seven-course meal for ticket holders.

Tickets sold out for the event, which benefited the Youth Farm and Market Project, which teaches urban farming to city kids, They grow and sell their own produce and learn a number of invaluable lessons along the way.

From 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 tonight, the Red Stag Supperclub in northeast Minneapolis is hosting a charity dinner to benefit Emergency Foodshelf Network's Harvest for the Hungry program. 

The program provides locally grown produce to families in need by partnering with area CSA farms and growers, who deliver fruits and vegetables to EFN's food banks and on-site meal programs. Last year the Harvest program distributed over 61,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables from 18 Minnesota and Wisconsin farms to local food shelves.

Along with whiskey samples and beer pairings from sponsors 2 Gingers Whiskey and Finnegan's beer, tonight's multi-course Farm Fresh Feast will feature local CSA-provided produce in imaginative preparations from Brian Hauke, head chef at the Red Stag. 
Here are more details on the event:

Eat sushi, help earthquake victims
​CNN and BBC switched their 24-hour coverage from Japan earthquake to Libya last week, but the hardship for survivors is far from over. Behind the news coverage of the nuclear crisis in Fukushima are hundreds of families in evacuation shelters, as well as farmers and business owners who will never be able to run their lives like they used to. Even if we don't see it on TV, thousands are still living in shelters and lack access to basic needs like food, heat and running water.

To help the survivors of Japan earthquake and tsunami, Origami, Origami West, Wakame, and Nami have joined forces to raise money for the relief effort.

Brasa cooks up an impressive benefit for Land Stewardship Project

The starters were the hit of the night
​As the sky turned dusky, diners began arriving at Brasa in St. Paul, ignoring the signs saying "Closed for a benefit." Tickets in hand, they knew they were in the right place--a specially prepared dinner by celebrated chef Alex Roberts to raise funds for the Land Stewardship Project, a group dedicated to sustainable agriculture. In raggy Run-DMC T-shirts and business suits, everyone from 11-year-olds to octogenarians found seats next to strangers at the family-style tables and made themselves at home by pouring open bottles of Morgan Creek Vineyards wine--not a bad social lubricant.

And then, over the din, the parade of food began.
