Delicious chowder in bread bowl!

Aid for AIDS...Go eat Los Angeles! Charitable fundraiser February 26th...

Dine at an elegant restaurant and - at the same time - raise funds for the homeless and individuals and families impoverished by HIV/AIDS!

The annual event is - GO EAT Los Angeles - and kicks off tomorrow on February 26th.

This is how it works.

Chow down at a Los Angeles restaurant and the proprietors will donate 20% or more of their day's receipts to Aid the AIDS-inflicted.

According to the organizers, this is an easy way to support the HIV/AIDS community.

You have to eat, right?

So, when you hop in the car - and head out to squelch that hunger pang in your stomach (during the breakfast, lunch, or dinner hour) - select an eatery from the "Go Eat Los Angeles" list of participating restaurants.

No excuses!

'Cause there are plenty of participating establishments serving up delectable meals in West Hollywood, Silverlake, Hollywood, Long Beach, Pasadena, West Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, and the Valley (you go, girl!).
