Come eat with Micky! I am an ambassador for Take a Bite Out of Breast Cancer, a Pink Jams event that is an outreach and fundraising campaign focusing on educating Washington, DC area residents about the importance of early detection and breast cancer awareness.
Did you know that Washington, DC has the highest breast cancer death rate for women in the United States? Many of those deaths are due to late diagnosis, and could have possibly been avoided through early detection and an understanding of risk factors. For the entire month of October, chefs and restaurateurs commit their establishments to helping us in our mission – reaching tens of thousands of men and women in our area. For one day, a week, or the entire month, participating restaurants also generously donate a portion of their food and beverage sales so that we can continue our work to save lives.
Join me for dinner on October 12th at Ristorante Piccolo in historic Georgetown and "take a bite" out of breast cancer! Make your reservation here and help support - 25% of all dinner and liquor sales will go towards this important cause. Menu items that stand out to me include: risotto ai frutti di mare, agnoloti ai porcini, pollo farcito, and of course tiramisu!
In addition, throughout the entire month Ristorante Piccolo will be featuring a "pink" appetizer - Gamberi Rosa, which are sauteed tiger shrimp and roasted peppers with garlic in a light pink sauce and a "pink" cocktail - Pink Slipper, that is a concoction of raspberry Stoli, house made strawberry grappa, a touch of grenadine, and triple sec. $1 from each sale of these specialty "pink" items will be contributed to Pink Jams throughout October.
