Victoria Stilwell, host of Animal Planet’s popular show “It’s Me or the Dog,” will be in Chattanooga on Friday evening as the guest speaker at McKamey Animal Care and Adoption Center’s new fundraiser, Paws Around the World.
The party will be held at The Mill, 1601 Gulf St., from 7 to 11 p.m. and will feature a wide variety of food and drink from around the world, along with music from Beatles tribute band The Beatlads.
The menu from chef Lee Towery sounds amazing. She will be preparing tastes from the far corners of the world, such as chicken satay with peanut sauce, an Asian favorite, and black bean and banana empanadas from our neighbors to the south. She’ll also have a spread of Mediterranean dishes, as well as others from Switzerland, France and Ireland. It’ll be an evening of dining, dancing, bidding on silent-auction items and helping Chattanooga’s homeless animal population. I can’t think of a tastier way to show your support.
Tickets are $75 each. To purchase, call Don Kellerman at 305-6507 or e-mail him at don@mckameyanimalcenter.org.
The response to an article about the restaurants I miss was overwhelming. I’ll be including every submission in a story that will run in a new dining guide coming out after the first of the year.
