RC (aka Restaurant Club) is a tasty tradition my friends and I started circa 2006. Every month we take turns picking a new, newish, or new to us restaurant to try. It’s given us a chance to explore different neighborhoods, try new foods (grasshopper! haggis!), and have an excuse to get together. Check out the (almost) complete list below…if only we could remember where we went in November of 2006!
