July 7: Reading Terminal Market hosts food fundraiser, philly.com/food launch

On Thursday, July 7 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Reading Terminal Market (12th and Arch streets) will be hosting Thanks Giving in July, a fundraiser for food nonprofits Philabundance, The Food Trust and MANNA. The Insider's Michael Klein (the afternoon doubles as a launch event for his new food site, philly.com/food) shares that they'll be hosting cooking demos on the half-hour, right next to Philbert the Pig in center court, featuring Top Chef winner Kevin Sbraga, Jennifer Carroll of 10 Arts, Jack McDavid of Down Home Diner and Big Daddy’s House host Aaron McCargo Jr., who will also be signing his new cookbook, Simply Done, Well Done. For $5 you can sample what the chefs are cooking up; all proceeds go to the charities. If you can’t come to the event, RTM encourages all to drop some bills into Philbert, as money collected throughout July will be donated to the orgs, too. Klein also mentions the Phillie Phanatic will be making an appearance around noon, but "he probably won’t cook."
