Haven't you heard? Medjool is the new Zeitgeist. It's true. (Well, what with the good folks at 7x7 Magazine now waxing poetic over the Mission cyclist bar these days, even the Routunda at Neiman Marcus could win that title.) So, why not head over to the place you used to hate for a very good cause?

See, Reason To Party will be throwing another smashing bash on hte last Thursday of August to raise much-needed funds for the San Francisco Food Bank, an organization that redistributes excess food to those who need it most. (Sadly, not every soul in the city could score a press pass to SFChefsFoodWine. Remember, scores of people go to bed hungry every night in San Francisco, the alleged food epicenter of the U.S.) And the party will be a regular hoot. There will be no cover, choice DJ sounds, friendly people, free appetizers, and all funds will be raised the evening's liquor sales.
