Sure, we all eat, but are you a true food lover? Attend South Lake Union’s restaurant showcase to find out.

Does the prospect of picking out fresh arugula and shallots put a spring in your step? Do your fingertips perpetually smell of garlic and basil leaves? Are you constantly annoyed with your gastronomically incompetent friends, who couldn’t even tell the difference between a remoulade and a béchamel?

If you meet the criteria, then you should probably swing by the Savor South Lake Union event on Wednesday, April 6. For two flavorful hours, attendees can up their caloric intake by sampling more than 10 of the neighborhood’s finest eateries. Neapolitan style pizza from Tutta Bella, Dungeness deliciousness courtesy of Chandler’s Crabhouse and gourmet burgers a la Lunchbox Laboratory — and much more — will be at your disposal. In addition, restaurant guru Tom Douglas’ three highly anticipated new venues — Ting Momo, Brave Horse Tavern and Cuoco — will also be on hand to help over-stimulate your taste buds.

Best of all, there’s a good cause behind this fine cuisine. Every cent of your $25 admission will go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Purchase tickets in advance through Brown Paper Tickets.

Tight jeans and dieting points be damned! If you’re a genuine foodie, you won’t want to miss this gluttonous night to remember. Just don’t forget your loose-fitting belt at home.
