Buy some soup and a beautiful bowl at The Idaho Foodbank’s fundraiser, Empty Bowls

This year, chefs from 20 local restaurants — including Fork, Lucky Fins and Cottonwood Grille — are preparing hot gourmet soups to delight your palate, served up by dozens of volunteers. Here’s how it works: You buy a ceramic bowl — handcrafted and hand-painted by an area artist, child or community member (there are 3,400 bowls to choose from) — and fill with soup and enjoy.
