In Salem, Fat Tuesday means eating for a cause
SALEM — Just saying it is a mouthful, let alone eating it.
Coffee-rubbed bison tenderloin on a spicy polenta crostini with a breakfast stout and molasses drizzle. Mmmm.
Kathy Anderson of Canfield, in line with her husband, Bill, to try some, has had bison before, she said, “but I can’t wait to taste this.”
The two had come to the Salem Community Center this evening to taste the offerings of the area’s celebrity chefs and businesses as they gathered there once again for Fat Tuesday — Feed the Salem Community Food Pantry.
The Andersons, who have cooked for the event for the past four years for Bill’s business, North Coast Divers, did not cook this year, Kathy said.
“We decided to take a year off and just enjoy the cooking,” she said.
They certainly weren’t the only ones who intended to do that. Plenty of people made their way to the center for the event, which lasted from 5 to 7 p.m. and sponsored by the center, Kiwanis Club, and Salem Rotary Club.
All the proceeds raised will support the food pantry.
