JUNE 2 Even if you didn’t acknowledge National Hunger Day on June 2, you can still do your part to combat hunger. On June 9, from 6 to 8:30 p.m., the Cambridge Boat Club (2 Gerry’s Landing Road, Cambridge) is hosting "A Toast and a Taste," a benefit for Share Our Strength, featuring wine and food tastings, a silent auction, and live music by Four Guys in Tuxes. The cost is $45 in advance and $50 at the door; call (617) 267-6780 or e-mail kmeyer@ofl.org for tickets. JUNE 16 Just because its surrounding neighborhood looks entirely different doesn’t mean Sel de la Terre (255 State Street, Boston) isn’t the same restaurant Bostonians have loved since it opened five years ago. And to celebrate that milestone anniversary, SDLT is hosting a dinner on June 16, featuring a five-course menu prepared by chefs Geoff Gardner and Frank McClelland. The cost is $55, including wine, and the evening begins at 6 p.m. Call (617) 720-1300 for reservations and information. ALL SUMMER Love summer barbecues but hate selecting meat for your finicky guests? This summer, Smith & Wollensky (101 Arlington Street, Boston) has the solution: the restaurant is offering cuts of its USDA Prime dry-aged steaks and filet mignon to go. Through September 5, call at least 24 hours in advance, and S&W will pack your sirloin (18 ounces), filet mignon (14 ounces), or rib steak (28 ounces) in an insulated bag with gel ice packs and have your order ready for pick up. The cost is $38 per piece; call (617) 423-1112 for more information or to place an order.
