| Happy Short Work Week! |
| Last Tuesday, we had our second Restaurant Club dinner at Zahav. The room was buzzing with passionate eaters, and I think it’s safe to say we all made some new friends and we all tried some new eats. Our vlogger David Fields was on hand doing his thing — check out his quick video of our mouthwatering slow-cooked lamb shoulder entrée. Look for the announcement of the next dinner soon! In the meantime, we’ve got some really great drink and eat specials for summer, a first peek at our not-yet-released June reviews from the magazine, and a new RC feature where you do the eating. Enjoy! |
