Nashville CARES Announces 2019 “Dining Out For Life”

The 17th annual Dining Out For Life® returns to Nashville on Tuesday, April 16, 2019. Area restaurants will participate in Dining Out For Life by donating a generous percentage of the day’s sales from either breakfast, lunch and/or dinner to Nashville CARES. Nashville CARES participation in the national event started in 2003, and has raised more than $1.7 million to fight HIV/AIDS in Middle Tennessee.

In 2018, more than 50 HIV service organizations, across the United States and Canada, partnered with 3,000 participating restaurants, 3,000 volunteers, and 300,000+ diners and raised an astonishing $4.1 million for people living with HIV/AIDS. All funds raised through a city’s Dining Out For Life event stay in that city to provide help and hope to people living with or impacted by HIV/AIDS.

Chef Margot McCormack

This year, recent James Beard nominee and executive chef Margot McCormack, will serve as the celebrity chair for this event. Her French inspired restaurant Margot Café & Bar is located in Five Points in the heart of East Nashville. Chef McCormack has a second restaurant right around the corner, a bustling European style eatery called Marche Artisan Foods.

“Our team at both Margot Café & Bar and Marche Artisan Foods greatly values the important work, compassion and education that Nashville CARES provides to our community and the impact it has made on our friends and neighbors,” said Chef Margot. “That’s why we have supported Dining Out For Life from the very beginning and will for years to come.”

 CARES is expecting over 60 restaurants to participate this year, donating a substantial percentage of their sales for breakfast, lunch and/or dinner to Nashville CARES. “This year we hope to raise $120,000 from this event,” says Natisha Moultry, Nashville CARES Special Events Manager. “We couldn’t do that without the support of these generous restaurants, volunteer hosts and thousands of hungry diners!”

To get involved, all you have to do is gather your family, friends and/or co-workers and head to a local participating restaurant. To view a list of participating restaurants, visit DiningOutForLife.com/Nashville.

SHOREHAM, VT (September 13, 2023) — WhistlePig Whiskey, the leaders in independent craft whiskey, and Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake are waving the checkered flag on a legend-worthy release that’s taking whiskey to G-Force levels. The Limited Edition PiggyBack Legends Series: Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake Barrel is a high Rye Whiskey selected by the Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake drivers, with barrels trialed in their wind tunnel to ensure a thrilling taste in every sip.

The third iteration in WhistlePig’s Single Barrel PiggyBack Legends Series, the Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake Barrel is bottled at 96.77 proof, a nod to Valtteri Bottas’ racing number, 77, and the precision of racing. Inspired by Zhou Guanyu, the first Chinese F1 driver, this Rye Whiskey is finished with lychee and oolong tea. Herbal and floral notes of the oolong tea complement the herbaceous notes of WhistlePig’s signature PiggyBack 100% Rye, rounded out with a juicy tropical fruit finish and a touch of spice.

When I started medical transition at 20 years old, it was very difficult to get the care I needed for hormone replacement therapy because there are very few providers trained in starting hormones for trans people, even though it’s very similar to the hormones that we prescribe to women in menopause or cisgender men with low testosterone.

I hope more providers get trained in LGBTQ+ healthcare, so they can support patients along their individual gender journey, and provide the info needed to make informed decisions about their body. I’ve personally seen my trans patients find hope and experience a better quality of life through hormone replacement therapy.
