Every Tuesday night starting Oct. 29 there will be a dinner party with 100 guests at the Wellfleet United Methodist Church. Dana Franchitto will play classical pieces on the piano and the food will be prepared by teams of cooks who get a little competitive with their culinary creations.

Along with the best meatloaf on Cape Cod (a secret family recipe) the 246 Community Kitchen has been offering fresh, home-cooked meals with lots of vegetables and something even more nutritious, good company, for the last eight years from October through May, says Janet Drohan, the director.
