Dos Casas, the fundraising dinner featuring some of the town’s top chefs at Lola tonight, is almost completely sold out, but if you work fast, you may be able to grab a seat at the bar or that last-four-top and enjoy good food for a very good cause. “Brent’s Place, and all the great things they do to help cancer patients, is extremely near and dear to everyone at Lola, and to all the chefs who participate in this event,” says Jamey Fader, the culinary director of Big Red F and Lola’s founding chef who’s been organizing Dos Casas for years. “It’s our way of showing our gratitude for all of the wonderful support they give to kids coping with cancer.”
