Two local foodie famous people — Tamara Schultz of La Belle Vie and Ryan Ecklund of Capital Grille — lost all of their belongings in a house fire just a few weeks ago. Their restaurant friends are coming together to throw a helluva benefit on their behalf. You know restaurant biz folks are gonna do it up right.

Sunday, October 26
Solera, 2nd floor
6-11pm
$20 suggested donation

Free beer and hors d’oeuvres, DJs, tarot card readings, and a silent auction and prize raffle. Think gift certificates to fine dining establishments and (and!):

Other silent auction and prize raffle items include a night on the town package from Classic Auto & Limo, tickets and merchandise from the St. Paul Saints, donated pieces from local artists, tons of movie and sports memorabilia and yourself as a character in the upcoming sequel to the Iron Chef America video game.

Open to everyone. You don’t even have to know anybody. Have you ever been upstairs at Solera? It’s nice. It’ll be worth it for the food alone.
