Every evening at 6 p.m.

Every evening as the warm Texas sun goes down and celebratory spirits lift, the lobby of The Ritz-Carlton, Dallas is transformed by the dimming of lights, and the illumination of candles.  This special chef, the hotel’s own “Guacamologist,” arrives at 6 p.m. and begins to work culinary magic, using Texas farm-to-market produce to hand-craft a daily guacamole blend in a unique presentation bowl. The Guacamologist completes his culinary creation and then loads up fresh tortilla chips with his freshly-made guacamole-of-the-day, presenting it to guests in attendance at the festive lobby experience. Meanwhile, refreshing mini-margaritas in tasting glasses are presented to adult lobby guests, as all involved enjoy a unique taste of Texas as a special start to the evening.

Become A “Soup Savior” – A Give Back Getaways Program
Select Tuesdays; 9:30 a.m. – 10:30 a.m.
Complimentary

Food and shelter are two of the most basic needs for long-term well-being, yet an alarming number of North Texans lack these critical resources. In 2003, David Timothy, also known as the SoupMan, recognized the immense need for food amongst Dallas’ homeless population and turned his vision of starting a mobile soup kitchen into a reality. Today, SoupMobile, Inc. serves approximately 600 meals, including 45 gallons of soup, to the homeless on a daily basis. A standard meal includes a hot bowl of soup, a hearty ham & cheese sandwich and refreshing beverage.

The Ritz-Carlton, Dallas invites hotel guests to give back and be a part of the SoupMobile’s mission by becoming a “Soup Savior”. As a “Soup Savior”, guests will work with the culinary team behind-the-scenes in The Ritz-Carlton kitchen to create a nutritious and filling soup. A Ritz-Carlton representative will deliver the freshly prepared soup to the SoupMobile headquarters for lunchtime distribution to a group of Dallas residents who need it most.

To participate in The Ritz-Carlton, Dallas Give Back Getaways program and Become a “Soup Savior”, please call 214.922.4731. One week advance notice is required. Program is based upon availability for hotel guests.
