Chef Deborah Schneider to serve as Guest Chef for ‘Cart for a Cause’
to raise funds for St. Vincent Meals on Wheels
Newport Beach, AUGUST 2010 – SOL Cocina’s Executive Chef Deborah Schneider will join the ranks of prominent chefs who have partnered with Cart for a Cause to raise money for the St. Vincent’s Meals on Wheels program when she jumps into the driver’s seat of her own food truck for the day on Saturday, August 28 at the OC Foodie Fest. This one-day gourmet food truck event at the Honda Center in Anaheim will feature Southern California’s most popular mobile eats combined with a unique forum to showcase local entertainment & shopping to help support local charities.
Dubbed by Chef Schneider as “SOL on a roll,” for $5, guests may enjoy Chef Schneider’s Carnitas SOL (street tacos with carnitas, tomatillo salsa, chicharron and avocado ~ PHOTO ATTACHED), as well as Ceviche SOL. Each meal will be served with FIJI Water, POM tea or POM Juice and a snack.
“I have always joked about having my own food truck and now SOL Cocina will have one as it is the only restaurant in Orange County to participate in this event by going mobile for a day,” commented Chef Deborah Schneider. “Cart For A Cause is a well-run nonprofit program benefiting St. Vincent Meals on Wheels, so I am more than happy to be a part of this cause and donate the proceeds from our $5 meal to help feed homebound senior citizens.”
