Want a dead-simple way to help out with flood relief? On Monday, May 17, take your hard-earned dollars to some of Nashville’s most generous restaurants, enjoy a delicious meal, pay up and go home knowing that a full 50% of your check is being donated to The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee for flood relief! It’s really that simple. After the chaos of the past two weeks, a nice sit-down meal is just what the doctor ordered for your Nashvillest editors… And we have a feeling that most of our readers are in the same boat.

Here is the current list of participating restaurants, with more being added every day! Many restaurants are only participating during certain hours, so please call to confirm, hit up EatOutForNashville.org (yes, it links to a Facebook page) or check back here on Monday for the final update. And last, but certainly not least, if you know of a restaurant that would like to participate, email eatoutfornashville@gmail.com. We’d love to have more on board. Cheers!
