Why go: While not everyone in the family will leave this event with full stomachs, the experience will educate and engage everyone on problems of global hunger and poverty. On arrival, each guest draws a ticket randomly assigning them to a high, middle or low income tier and is served a corresponding meal. The 15 percent in the high-income tier are served a gourmet meal. The 25 percent in the middle-income section eat a simple meal of rice and beans. The 60 percent in the low-income tier receive rice and water. An interactive script is read during the meal time by two student emcees engaging the audience with a few surprises.
Pricing: Individual $5, Family $10
