RESTAURANT ROUNDUP:

Share Our Selves, a Westside nonprofit that provides services to poor Orange County residents, plans to host its annual fund-raising dinner Oct. 27 at the Fairmont Newport Beach.

The 17th annual Celebrity Chef Dinner features a five-course meal with specialty wines and work by 14 chefs.

The chefs include staff members from Antonello Ristorante, Roy’s Newport Beach and other popular Newport-Mesa restaurants.

Tickets are $275 per person, with proceeds going to Share Our Selves.

In the past, the nonprofit has used the funds to pay for food, a new kitchen and delivery vans.

This year marks the first time the Fairmont has hosted the dinner.

“We’re excited to have the Fairmont host our event at their elegant new location,” Kathleen Bruski, special events coordinator for Share Our Selves, stated in a release.

“This year we also have room to expand and invite more guests. We want to share this special event with as many Share Our Selves supporters as possible.”
