GOOD EATS + SWEET TREATS. Raleigh’s Vidrio restaurant continues its monthly “Taste Tour of the Mediterranean” monthly dinner series on Thursday, July 28, 6:30–9 p.m., “Next Destination: Croatia!” features authentic and elevated Croation cuisine prepared by chef Saif Rahman. The entree options include slow roasted chicken with sausage, peppers and a seasonal vegetable; or braised beef, pancetta and prunes. 

Speaking of Vidrio, LM Restaurants, a North Carolina-based hospitality management company representing Vidrio, Taverna Agora and Carolina Ale House in the Triangle, is working toward a company-wide goal of raising $100,000 for World Central Kitchen‘s work in Ukraine. The company hosted the Taste of Ukraine kickoff dinner at Vidrio. And through July 31, 29 of the company’s restaurants will feature a special Ukraine Cocktail (pictured above) made with Ketel One Botanical Peach and Orange Blossom Vodka (a Dutch vodka), peach liqueur, fresh lemon juice, housemade simple syrup and fresh mint. The cocktail costs $12 and 100% of the proceeds will be donated.
