Heart & SoulCHARLESTON, W.Va. -- East End Family Resource Center's Heart & Soul Dip Dinner on Saturday will feature a barbecued rib cook-off and tastes from Carver Culinary Institute, as well as the usual samples, or dips, of food provided for the fundraiser.
Churches, businesses and individuals all team up to provide the soul and home-cooked food such as meatloaf, jerk chicken, black-eyed peas, noodle kugel, chicken stir fry and chocolate chip bread pudding. Thomas Grant and his students from the Carver Culinary Institute, hosts of the event, will prepare and serve braised pork shoulder with white beans and pumpkin bread pudding with caramel sauce.
Attendees purchase tickets that they redeem for a "dip" of the dishes they choose, either at the event or in take-away packages. Proceeds benefit both the after-school and the senior programs at the center. Tickets will also be available at the door.
The Heart & Soul Dip Dinner will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the East End Family Resource Center, 512 Ruffner Ave. For advance tickets or more information, call 304-344-1656.
