Super Hunger Brunch Features Ming Tsai

It's not every weekend that your brunch helps raise $60,000 to fight hunger--it does during Super Hunger Brunch. 

Wellesley took part in the Brunch, with Ming Tsai's Blue Ginger participating. Participating restaurants designed special brunch menus with fixed prices, ranging from $25 to $35 to $50 per meal. 

Across 21 restaurants, 1,500 diners chowed down over the weekend, a Greater Boston Food Bank press release said. The $60,000 raised will turn into over 140,000 meals for people in need around Eastern Mass. 

A GBFB release announcing the Brunch also noted that Tsai is both a longtime champions of The Greater Boston Food Bank, and served on the Super Hunger Brunch Culinary Committee.

Below is the full release from Greater Boston Food Bank:
