It's for the 22nd annual Dining Out For Life.
"Dining Out for Life raises money to support services for people living with HIV and AIDS in the Delaware Valley."
He says there are about 20,000 people in the region living with HIV and AIDS.
"We have an infection rate among young people between the ages of 13-24 that is higher than in some African countries."
And restaurants are not only in Philadelphia, but in South Jersey and the suburbs, "and all of that money stays in those communities to support services for AIDS."
A list of participating restaurants can be found online at DiningOutForLife.org.
