We know y'all ain't from the South, but we bet you love a little Southern cooking now and then. If Tupelo isn't enough to butter your roll, try a little Paula Deen. The sugar-sweet, butter-obsessed Southerner will be cooking up a storm at the Bank of America Pavilion at 6:30 pm on August 29. From hoecakes to biscuits to deep-fried Twinkies, we hope Deen will fill our every unhealthy need. The show has a bigger purpose than pleasing the tastebuds and fattening the figure, though: it's a benefit* for the Greater Boston Food Bank, and attendees are asked to bring food donations in addition to their tickets (which will run you $31-$66, or $150 if you want a meet and greet with Paula).

Bruce Springsteen will play TD Banknorth Garden on April 21 and 22 as part of his Working on a Dream Tour, and you could be in attendance. The Boss has donated several tickets to the Greater Boston Food Bank, which is auctioning them off to benefit its operations. For an opening bid of $1000, you get the chance at four Springsteen tickets and backstage passes. If the winning bid is $10,000 or more, the tickets and passes come with a kicker: the opportunity to meet Bruce himself, along with his band. If you're a big-time fan with big-time bucks, this is a great chance to realize your dreams while also benefiting a worthy cause.

We all know Bostonians love to brunch. This weekend, put that mid-morning appetite to good use and participate in The Greater Boston Food Bank's Super Hunger Brunch.
