Orlando -- That headline doesn't totally make sense, I know. Here's the thing. The top-notch chefs of Disney's BoardWalk Inn at will prepare a five-course meal at the Second Harvest Food Bank. Cocktails and paired wines will be part of the feast. Your ticket price will go to Second Harvest, which feeds hungry Orlandoans. $75. Reservations: 407.514.1070 or click here.

Here's the chef line-up:

Andrew Larkin, Executive Chef, Disney's BoardWalk Resort

Chef Rich Smich, Trattoria al Forno

Chef Paul Napoli, ESPN Club

Chef Tim Majoras, Flying Fish (the tuna crudo pictured is a Chef Tim creation)

Pastry Chef Kurtis Baguley, Disney’s BoardWalk Resort restaurants (I was a big fan of his at Pane d'Or, an independent bakery he created and ran in Winter Garden until recently)

Sommeliers Katie Hanewall, Trattoria al Forno, and Ted Letsch, Flying Fish

And, THE MENU. I'd say this will be a great dinner for $75, even if the proceeds weren't going to help folks. (Ignore the excessive upper-case letters; I copied and pasted)
