We're more than halfway through October, and before we know it, Breast Cancer Awareness Month will be over.
by POPSUGAR Food

We're more than halfway through October, and before we know it, Breast Cancer Awareness Month will be over. So while you're hunting down that perfect Halloween costume, be sure to find a cause to get behind. Us? We'll be at Domaine Chandon's Pink Party, an annual soirée with pink attire, pink appetizers, and (of course) pink bubbly, to benefit breast cancer treatments at the Queen of the Valley Medical Foundation. If you're in Washington DC, don't miss out on the StarChefs Rising Stars Revue. Regardless of which city you're in, your palate's bound to be impressed.

Share with us where you'll be eating this week below!

Can you believe it's almost October? I certainly can't! Luckily there are plenty of delicious food events to make the transition from Summer to Fall more bearable. This week we're excited to party with our friends at SF Weekly for their third annual Dish Event at San Francisco's Metreon. The tasting extravaganza brings together over 30 of the city's top eateries as well as more than 10 wineries. If you see us there, be sure to stop by and say hello!

Despite the slow but sure changing of the seasons, there's still quite the selection of food festivities to choose from. So right now, there's only one thing to do: get eating and drinking before nippy weather slows down the circuit!

If you're in the City that Never Sleeps, do what they do best, and hit up everything, from the Rising Stars Revue to dinner at the James Beard House to the Joy of Sake event.

As for us, we'll be occupied with our Left Coast version of cocktail week, where the town's top startenders will shake and swizzle their way into our hearts. (That should be easy.) What are you up to? Let us know in the comments below!

Say farewell to Summer with a cold brewski! Choose your poison, the Great American Beer Festival or the Telluride Blues & Brews Festival. If a classy wine and dine event is more your style, the Celebrity Chef Tour is making its way to Minneapolis on Sept. 16, featuring chefs Susur Lee from Top Chef Masters and James Beard Award winner Tim McKee. And for those of you toughing out the sunny temps in So Cal, it's San Diego Restaurant Week, so be sure to reserve your three-course meal at your favorite foodie hot spot!

I've been hearing the first mentions of Fall, yet Summer is just beginning to show its face here in San Francisco. What a wonderful week to celebrate in California, as there are an assortment of events.

This weekend, we hope to make it across the Bay Bridge to the Eat Real Festival. Created last year by Next Iron Chef judge Anya Fernald, the second annual food truck affair features food demos, a butchery contest, and live music. And don't forget to savor the sun on Tuesday, National Eat Outside Day!
