Healthful lunches-to-go are available by 6 a.m. He uses local suppliers like Zeke's for coffee, Sylvan Beach for ice cream and Woodlea Bakery for baked goods.

Bandelin takes this social responsibility thing seriously, and I've heard the food is good as well.
Those ambitious hours, by the way, are 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. except every other Sunday, when Grind On closes at 5 p.m. (The other Sunday it stays open with live music.)
Special request Three... (2901 E. Baltimore St., 410-327-3333) in Patterson Park has started offering a $10 burger on Wednesday nights. That may not sound like big news, but a group of neighbors who walk their dogs together after work on Wednesdays asked the place to start offering a burger for them (there isn't one on the regular menu) and Three... responded.
For your 10 bucks you get a turkey or beef burger (on a brioche bun) with your choice of four different cheeses, fries hand-cut that afternoon and a beer. The dog-walking neighbors love the special; about 50 were sold last Wednesday. And you don't have to live in the neighborhood to order it.
Benefit tasting If you like wine tastings, don't miss the Mother of Them All, the Taste for Life Wine Event, which benefits the American Cancer Society. More than 40 wineries will be represented, and you can chat with the representatives, taste more than 100 wines and buy at a discount.
The event is being held at Ten Oaks Ballroom (Routes 108 and 32) in Clarksville on March 29. For more information, visit tasteforlife.org or call 888-535-4555.
