LAS VEGAS — The city’s favorite dinner party for 150 of your new friends seated at one long table announced its dates for 2012. Project Dinner Table brings together chefs from across the valley in a different location for each seating. Foods focus on the farm-to-table movement locally, and a portion of the proceeds benefit a different philanthropy each time. The first in the six dinners planned for this year takes place Saturday, April 14. Others follow on Saturday, May 19; Saturday, June 30; Saturday, Sept. 8; Saturday, Oct. 13; and Sunday, Nov. 11. In its first two seasons, Project Dinner Table donated $38,000 back to the community to benefit 18 charities. [EaterWire]
