You can attend lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. or dinner from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Delectable soups, stews, and chowders are on the menu, prepared for you by local chefs as well as artisan breads from local bakeries—plus, you'll get to take home a beautiful pottery bowl as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world (tickets are available at the Atascadero Chamber Office or at echoshelter.org for $25) ...
