    Ted Allen, host of the Food Network's "Chopped" and national spokesman for Dining Out For Life highlights the incredible opportunity to give back that Dining Out For Life offers everyone: "This is a triple win. It's a win for everybody. It's a win for the community, it's a win for people with HIV, it's a win for the chefs who get a new audience in their seats to tryout their creative work. It's a way for people who don't have time to be activists to make to make a really meaningful financial contribution to the fight against AIDS while doing something you'd have to do anyway. You gotta eat."
