SEMINOLE HEIGHTS - Two award-winning chefs will host a $100-a-plate dinner Saturday at Six Tables restaurant to benefit the Seminole Heights Community Garden.

Six Tables owner and chef, Richard Bottini, and chef James Canter, who will be executive chef at the under-construction Gastropub, are sponsoring the dinner. The pub, along with a sushi restaurant and Sangria's Spanish Tapas Bar & Restaurant, are slated to open in Seminole Heights at 512 E. Hillsborough Ave.

The menu includes Myakka River sturgeon confit, candied Vidalia onions, hanger steak, baby argula, mamey mousse and an array of wines from sauvignon blanc to malbec.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit a community garden which opened recently on a vacant lot on Violet Street. The lot temporarily is donated by an area homeowner but the community gardeners hope eventually to lease or buy a permanent site and develop a community farm.

Reservations for dinners at 6:30 p.m. and 9:15 p.m. may be made by calling Six Tables, at 4267 Henderson Blvd., at (813) 207-0527.
