Excuse our punny headline, but we were just so impressed that the 2013 Class Board is putting on something legitimately cool. Free dinners! At Stephen Starr restaurants! And a meet and greet! With Stephen Starr! Well done, folks. See? We don't hate you all the time.

Any sophomores interested in signing up for a dinner at one of eight Starr restaurants can enter the lottery here, or read the full details of the two events after the jump.

Part 1: EXPERIENCE STARR
What: Class Board 2013 is raffling off 160 FREE dinners to Starr restaurants. Each night, we'll send 2 groups of 20 sophomores to enjoy the full Starr experience. Dinners include a full meal of the best appetizers, entrees, and desserts. All for FREE and exclusively for 2013.
When: Next week, February 20th - 24th, 6 PM each night
Where:
Tuesday: Pizzeria Stella and The Continental Wednesday: El Rey and Alma de Cuba
Thursday: Buddakan and Morimoto
Why: There are so many incredible people in 2013; we want to give you an excuse to meet as many of them as possible before graduation. And do it over amazing food at Philadelphia's finest restaurants.
How: Attendees will be chosen by lottery and will be allowed to bring one other (sophomore) friend along. Please sign up for your top choices here.
... HOLD UP there's more, you'll love this
Part 2: MEET STARR (and get free desserts)
What: The man himself. Stephen Starr is coming to campus. He'll open up about his life, his restaurants, and his story. Plus 300 students will get to enjoy an assortment of Starr's delicious dessert tapas, coffee, and tea. Again, FREE and only for 2013.
When: Friday, February 25th at 6 PM
Why: Learn from the visionary, the man who turned Philadelphia into a restaurant town. What inspired him to enter such a tough industry? What does it take to transform an idea into a restaurant? He might even share a sneak peek into his next big project. If nothing else, come for the amazing free desserts.
How: Stephen has asked to keep things low key, so space is limited to 200 attending the Q & A session, and another 100 get to join in for the desserts. Sign up here.
