Tuesday, April 27th is a big day for Nashville foodies, as the eighth annual Dining Out For Life event descends on our fair city. Local eateries participating in the event will donate a portion of your bill to Nashville CARES, Tennessee’s leading community-based AIDS service organization.
Nashville CARES has been in continuous operation since 1985. According to the organization, “Our mission is to promote and participate in a comprehensive and compassionate response to HIV and AIDS through education, advocacy, and supportive services. The doors of CARES are open to anyone affected by HIV and AIDS in need of comfort.”
A slew of East Nashville restaurants are participating in this year’s Dining Out For Life, including some of our favorites. Here’s a look at the participating venues on the east side, the meals during which they’ll be participating in the event, and the percentage of your bill they’ll donate in parentheses:

All diners at participating venues will also have a chance to win two round-trip domestic airline tickets courtesy of Southwest Airlines. Just fill out a donation envelope at your restaurant of choice and return the envelope to the Volunteer Host to be entered into the drawing. Donations aren’t required to win, but they’re appreciated and will go a long way toward helping people in your community.
