Food and wine lovers can join the fight against hunger in Orange County by attending the Summer Food & Wine Event, a South Coast Plaza tradition for more than 25 years, on Thursday from 6 to 9 p.m. at Charlie Palmer at Bloomingdale’s.

At the celebration more than 30 premium wineries will be pouring 100 of their best vintages, along with tray passed appetizers from Charlie Palmer’s such as truffle cheese sliders, herb French fries, hamachi sashimi with blood orange-fennel marmalade, three cheese risotto croquette, saffron aioli; taco yaki–ginger, potato foam; and smoked and seared scallop with pineapple and rhubarb yogurt.

Celebrity Chef Charlie Palmer will mingle with guests, and Jason Bentley of KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic will provide music. All proceeds benefit Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County.
