Raising funds for a cause(s) - Austin Chocolate Festival and Brunch at El Chile

Sept. 18-19th was the 4th annual Austin Chocolate Festival.  Oodles of truffles lined the tables.  Chocolate syrup poured from the skies.... not really, but I wish.  Tipsy Texan served up some delicious cocktails, though.  Spicy and chocolately hit the spot!  Since I believe that pictures are worth a thousand words, here's a few for your viewing pleasure.  Proceeds to benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation.  Also, a big congrats to Saint Arnold for their win for their beer chocolate chocolate in the frozen food category.  More photos here.

 

 

 

El Chile Downtown also hosted a brunch to benefit the Aids Services of Austin.  The food was delicious, and as you can see from these photos, colorfully decorated interior.  I wanted to start shoveling the guacamole and ceviche by the spoonful, but I thought I better save some for others.  A big congrats to El Chile for raising $2,700!  Great job, great food, for a great cause.  More photos here.
