An event billed as a food-tasting extravaganza drew a full-house crowd to the spacious lobby of the Two River Theater Monday night.
The occasion was a $100-per-plate fundraiser for Lunch Break, Red Bank’s soup kitchen for the needy. More than a dozen local restaurants and spirits retailers offered their wares, and live entertainment created a “night of songs and tastes of old Italy” — the event’s theme.
Lunch Break’s shelves and coffers have been sorely tested by the recession, and donations of cash, canned food, clothing and volunteer time are welcome, officials say. To help out, go here.
