On Sunday, September 25, San Diego Padres manager Bud Black presents Acqua Al 2’s Annual Team Night celebrating the restaurant’s 11th anniversary. Padres players will take over, becoming chefs, servers, and bartenders for the evening to benefit Rady Children’s Hospital and UCSD, and to support research and awareness of MRSA as well as kids and families who are fighting life-threatening illnesses. Guests will savor a five-course dinner paired with fine wines and will have the chance to mingle with Black and other Padres players while bidding on live auction items including a round of golf with Black and Trevor Hoffman; dinner for eight at your home with Black, first base coach Dave Roberts, and select players prepared by Acqua Al 2 executive chef Martin Gonzalez; and more. Tickets can be purchased online. (www.buddyblack.eventbrite.com)
