So March is actually looking pretty quiet for me right now. I'm sort of afraid to say that because I just picture a flood of things coming up if I do. I'm sure you know how that goes.
Today I'm recovering from last night's Burger Battle -- I'll have a review for you soon -- and I'm heading to dinner at Petit Robert Central and a chocolate and wine event at the Boston Chocolate School tonight. I'm sure I'll have lots to tell you about that too!
On Saturday night (March 5), Jeff and I are going to Chef Will Gilson's Mother's Day in March event. Have you heard about this yet? Will has done a few pop-up restaurants in the Boston area in the past few months, and this time he is having a pop-up at the BCAE, being helped by some incredible local chefs, and donating all the proceeds to his mother. Will's mother, Jodie Gilson, owns J. Gilson Greenhouses and grows perennials and herbs. Her greenhouses were completely destroyed under the weight of this winter's snow, and with generous donations and the proceeds from this event, she will hopefully be able to rebuild them.
Ticket prices are steep, but it's for a very good cause, and with the lineup of chefs involved, it's sure to be an amazing event. (Who will be there? Louis DiBiccari, Jamie Bissonnette, Dante de Magistris, Joanne Chang, Christopher Myers, Andy Husbands, Colin Lynch, and more.)
We sprung for the $100 tickets, which will get us a 7 p.m. entry with wine, appetizers, and dinner. The $150 tickets get you a 6:30 pm entry with cocktails and oysters in addition to the wine, appetizers, and dinner. Finally, the $200 tickets get you everything the $150 tickets do plus front-row seats to the auction.
If you're interested, you can read more about the event or how to make a donation here.
On March 10, we're going to the Bruins game, and on March 27, Jen and I have another baking date.
See what I mean... an eerily quiet March. You know what they say... March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb!
Do you have any big plans in March?

I wish I was going to be in town for the pop up dinner!
This week is jam-packed with activities but for the most part, March is pretty quiet for me too...for now!
This first week is certainly lion-like for me too, but thankfully it's packed with mostly fun stuff.
My BF and I are going to the chocolate and wine tasting tonight too! I'll see you there.
I'm going to chocolate and wine tonight too! I really wanted to go to the Mother's Day event but I have that wacky soup competition. I look forward to the recaps!
March is so jam packed for me, but less with food events and more with weekend trips! Excluding this week, of course :) See you tonight! I am happy you left a PRC link because I don't know exactly where it is....
So many fun events!!! My big plan is going to DC at the end of the month to run a half marathon... thats about it : )
you get to go to the COOLEST food events!
March for me includes closing on a house and heading out of town for a week. Yikes. Crazy!!
I go on our first family vacation to Jacksonhole Wyoming. I cant wait to see snow!
Yay for our baking date! We still need to decide what to make. And when to post the other goodies we made last time... Can't wait to hear about the Mother's Day event. We can't make it, but I def would have tried to talk Hubby into it if we weren't already busy...
Oh, you know...just moving into a new place this weekend :) so excited!!!!
