Eat Your Heart Out’ in Mt. Airy Saturday

Glenn Bergman, manager of Weavers Way Co-op and one of the “Eat Your Heart Out” volunteer chefs, with Diane Shropshire, who with her husband Ken is one of the event’s hosts.

“Eat Your Heart Out!” is what some Mt. Airy chefs will be saying when serving delicious meals at this unusual traveling dinner during the Book and the Cook week. Diners will have an opportunity to view some of West Mt. Airy’s most beautiful homes while enjoying dinner especially created by local and talented home chefs.

West Mt. Airy Neighbors’ festive evening will begin with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres at 6 p.m. on Saturday, March 18, at the historic and stately home of Judy and Ken Weinstein in West Mt. Airy. Following the cocktail hour, participants will then travel to another splendid home in West Mt. Airy for dinner and dessert. Along with the attraction of viewing another fabulous home, each house will also have a scrumptious themed meal for diners to enjoy. Whatever the heart desires will be available for participants to dine on, whether it’s a Spanish tapas fiesta, a Moroccan vegetarian meal or an Alpine feast.

An evening filled with a broad list of historic homes, appetizing cuisine and festive atmosphere is sure to sell out — and it has! However, although the dinner portion of the evening is sold out, cocktail and hors d’oeuvres tickets are still available. Tickets are $35 a person for the cocktail and hors d’oeuvres part of the event, starting at 6 p.m. at the Weinsteins’ home. For more information, call West Mt. Airy Neighbors at 215-438-6022 or email wman@wman.net.
