If you're eating out in the next couple of weeks and notice a table card with the beaming face of sexy TV chef Ricardo, you might think that you've become a victim of a new stealth marketing campaign for the Food Network.

But in fact, that card will indicate something much more positive. It will mean that the restaurant you're dining at is participating in Taste For Justice, a fundraising event for Amnesty International for which Ricardo is a spokesperson.

From June 1st through 15th, restaurants across the country will be donating a portion of their proceeds to help support Amnesty International’s work to stop violence against women. Here in Toronto, there are 23 participating locations including Tinto, Oyster Boy, Dufflet Pastries and Chef Sasi Thai Cooking School, plus out-of-town locations in Alliston, Mount Albert and Windsor.

A full list of participating Ontario restaurants can be found on the Taste For Justice website.
