Livia asked me to pass this along. St. Jude's is about as good a cause as you'll find, so go nibble on something deep-fried, watch a little Monday Night Football, and call it a good deed:
On Monday, September 24th, Chili's restauraunts nationwide will be donating 100% of their daily profit to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. The special day is part of Chili's "Create-A-Pepper to Fight Childhood Cancer" campaign. During September, which is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, guests also have the opportunity to make a small donation to St. Jude and kids receive a coloring sheet they can decorate and have displayed in the restaurant.Livia adds: "How often do you have the opportunity to eat delicious ribs, drink multiple pitchers of beer, and shovel chocolate cake into your mouth and have every cent of the money you spend go towards helping a child with cancer? This is an easy way to support a vital charity and truly make a difference in a child's life." Also, the purchase of alcohol? 100% to the hospital. How can you argue with that?
Tomorrow's meal plan
Breakfast: Chili's
Lunch: Chili's
Dinner: Chili's, and maybe one of Claire's pudding shots afterwards
Posted by: R.D. Baker at September 23, 2007 11:44 AMYes. Chili's kicks ass. Also, they have something called "dessert shots" now, and from their website I was unable to discern whether they were actually composed of some kind of delicious alcohol or just made of chocolate and whipped cream. Either way, I'm ordering six.
