Bay Area foodies will unleash their inner Anthony Bourdains once again Sept.24, roaming the streets of Orinda in an ecstatic exploration of local epicurean excellence as the Orinda Chamber of Commerce's Sixth Annual Restaurant Tour kicks off at 5:30 p.m.
The annual eating experience has become a sellout event, attracting everyone from the most serious of gourmands to those who simply enjoy great conversation over wonderful wine. For the price of admission, each ticket holder will munch on mouthwatering morsels from participating restaurants - taste treats which have been known to make many a regular patron's eyes roll in pleasure. Ticket sales will be limited to just 250 attendees, and are priced at $40 for advance purchase ($45 on the day of the event if available). On-site registration will be open at Theatre Square from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. with the dining dash to take place from 6 to 8 p.m. and dessert from 8 to 8:30 p.m.
Best of all, it will be even easier than ever this year for gastronomic gumshoes to sample their way from the Theatre District to the Village. A cable car trolley - complete with live entertainment - will ferry the merry attendees. Chamber president Sylvia Jorgenson describes the tour as Orinda's "best couples' night on the town."
So, pull on a pair of loose-fitting pants, and grab your best bud and a couple of bibs. Elastic waistbands are chic when celebrating September in Orinda. For more Information, visit the Chamber's website: www.orindachamber.org/OrindaRestaurantTour2013.htm.
