Dinner & Movie Fundraisers

Below is the lineup for the dinner and movie fundraisers to be held at my place with the help of a different guest chef each week. To sign up send me an email at bobscof@gmail.com and you will be given instructions for donating online on behalf of the guest chef if there is still room available. Cost is a $20 donation to benefit the amazing kids that we will run the marathon for, plus a $5 contribution at the door to defray our food & drink costs.

"Without Limits" - Guest Chef Danika Landers - The story of legendary American runner Steve Prefontaine. The cuisine is being formulated as we speak for this biopic of the amazingly talented track and field star from Oregon. "Pre" as he was known to his legions of fans established American and World Records during his amazing collegiate career under the tutelage of two hall of fame coaches, one of whom, Bill Bowerman, went on to found his own sneaker company (Nike). Pre went onto represent the U.S. at the Olympics in Munich. For more info and to donate to guest chef Danika Landers, visit her blog: http://danikaruns.blogspot.com

Saturday September 23rd

"Forest Gump" - Guest chef: Rodrigo Balazero Barring a weather disaster in the Gulf of Mexico there will be shrimp on the menu: "You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute' it. There's shrimp kabobs, shrimp Creole, Shrimp Gumbo..." Rodrigo actually has a few creative shrimp creations in mind, courtesy of his Uncle, a famous chef in Ecuador, so he may come up with something that Bubba never even contemplated, despite knowing everything there is to know about the shrimping business. There will be various Southern dishes on the menu to honor the cross country runner from Alabama, and some ice cream and a box of chocolates or two for dessert.

Saturday September 30th

"Rudy" - Guest Chef: Notre Dame Alum and TFK Coach Pete Kenny (Entrant # 43104) - an eclectic but nourishing mix of Irish fare to honor the Golden Domers and Italian food from Mama Kenny's kitchen in Queens. This is probably the most inspirational of the films on the schedule and not to be missed!

Saturday October 7th

"The Natural - Guest Chef Greg Roelants (Entrant # 4077) - A special Baseball night in honor of the playoffs and a possible Subway Series, with that night's game being shown in the other room while Robert Redford knocks the cover off the ball in the screening room. Hot dogs, apple pie, macaroni n' cheese, all of the things that make America great as we celebrate the National Pastime.

Friday October 13th

"Remember the Titans" - Erik Pena (Entrant # 47185) will be making some down home Southern food for your enjoyment of this inspiring true story of football players at a newly integrated high school in Alexandria, Virginia in 1971. Their coach, Herman Boone (Denzel Washington), teaches the kids to learn to overcome their racial differences and play together as a team. The film features a great soundtrack and is perfect to get everybody excited for the next day's 23 mile run, which will be our longest before tapering prior to the marathon.
