Eating feels good. Giving to charity feels good. But what to do when you get a hankerin' for both? One idea: Grab one of only 75 tickets available for Dine Around Uptown, an event put on by the North Texas Food Bank's young professionals group and hosted by celebrity chef and all-around sweetheart Tiffany Derry of Private | Social.

You'll feel great as you're driven from restaurant to restaurant by private cars, because 100 percent of your ticket price is going to the NTFB. Dine Around Uptown is kind of like a pub crawl, but instead of downing beers and stumbling from pub to pub, you get whisked from sexy restaurant to sexy restaurant while eating deliciously fancy food and drinking specialty cocktails. It all adds up to (hopefully) much less sloshy, sloshy shame at the end of the night. Good for you.

Here's what you need to know about Dine Around Uptown: It's on Saturday, September 22 from 3-6 p.m. Tickets are $75 for one, $125 for two Get yours at roundtabledallas.com

Feed yourself while feeding the less fortunate -- and I don't know -- you might just feed your soul a little bit too.
