BBQ Steak Dinner Pre-Order

Reserve your BBQ Rib Eye Steak Dinner today through Wednesday, May 13th! Our steak dinner includes a Choice Rib Eye Steak cooked to order, a broccoli side salad, rice and a homemade cookie! Pre-Ordered steaks can be picked up directly at the Steak Booth (bypass the central Cashiers if you are not purchasing any other yummy items) from 11:30-4:30pm. All steaks are grilled to order at the time of pick-up, so please allow for cooking time (the Bazaar closes at 5pm). Walk-up orders are welcome too through the central Cashiers if steaks are available! —> ORDER HERE

Donations

We appreciate any and all donations in support of 115 years of the Berkeley Buddhist Temple! Since 1911, BBT has focused on sharing Jodo Shinshu teachings. A thriving and diverse sangha has developed that supports many programs (PS-12th Grade Dharma School, Jr YBA, Taiko , Buddhist Living in Equality and Non-Discrimination (BLEND) and more!). In addition to supporting day-to-day operations of our services and programs, this year we are seeking to upgrade appliances and improve our facilities too! —> DONATE HERE

Stroll through the beautiful displays, bid online and pick up your new treasure at the Bazaar! —> REGISTER NOW
