Scout is proud to be sponsoring The Main Event. What the hell is that, you ask? Well, a bunch of Main Street’s better restaurants have gotten together to do something to help fill the shelves of The Greater Vancouver Food Bank. From this Monday, January 18th to next Sunday, January 24th, Vancouverites are invited to indulge in the diverse edible offerings of the neighbourhood with partial proceeds from special menus going to local families and individuals in need.

The Main Event 2010’s theme is “East Meets West”. Participating restaurants will be offering three-course tasting menus for set prices of $25, $35 and $45. Please also note that The Food Bank will also have a box located at each restaurant for customers to drop off non-perishable food items. Oh, plus there’s a kickass…
