Michael Ehlert Made You Dinner But You Need To Pick It Up

Michael Ehlert (formerly of Campo) is cooking this week’s “Dinner for Two” to-go meals, benefiting Café Momentum at Bolsa Mercado. These dinners for two, prepared by popular Dallas chefs, will be available for purchase starting Thursday afternoons until they are sold out each week. Quantities are limited and prices will vary from $20-$30.

Proceeds from the sales of the dinners benefit Café Momentum, and each chef has been asked to incorporate produce grown in the garden of the Dallas County Youth Village within their menus.

Vegetables are grown by the young men participating in the gardening program at the Dallas County Youth Village, a residential facility for adjudicated young men between the ages of 10 and 17 who have been found by the court to be in need of supervision.

Youth Village Resources of Dallas is a non-profit organization that supports many programs, including the gardening program. Café Momentum started as a program of the Youth Village Resources of Dallas, and recently separated, forming its own non-profit. Both organizations continue to work hand-in-hand with Café Momentum, being supporters of both the gardening and culinary programs at the Youth Village.

Michael Ehlert meal is available at Bolsa Mercado now. Go grab one while they last.
