Pittsburgh's Rock Bottom Restaurant & Brewery at the Waterfront is running a monthlong Fire Chief Ale promotion to benefit the UPMC Mercy Trauma and Burn Centers. The effort is a continuation of a seven-year commitment that has raised more than $50,000 for the UPMC Mercy Trauma and Burn Centers.
The lineup includes:
• 6-10 p.m. Sunday March 1, 2008: Fire Chief Monte Carlo Night in Sing Sing. Enjoy table games and A Taste of the Waterfront. Cost is $50. Black tie is optional; coats and ties are required. Doors open at 5 p.m.
• 8-10 p.m. March 12: Firefighter Bachelor/Bachelorette Auction of Pittsburgh's most eligible firefighters, EMTs and friends for charity. Hosted by local comedians Shaun Blackham and Sharon Daly.
• 1-4 p.m. March 15: Fire Chief Firefighter Challenge will offer an obstacle course in Rock Bottom's parking lot. Participants will navigate obstacles and demonstrate their firefighting skills while racing against other contestants and the clock.
• 7-10 p.m. March 19: Fire Chief Brewer's Dinner, which pairs some of its finest ales with a tantalizing, five-course meal of a firecracker prawn, roasted quail with saffron couscous, mint kiwi sorbet, twin T-bone lamb chops, and mint-scented chocolate silk cake. Cost is $39.99, or $74.99 per couple. Seating is limited.
