August 23, 2012: Stephanie's pick. We had such a fantastic time and this R. Club. Into our 7th year, we know each other so well, and have been through SO many life changes together. We are really fortunate to still all be together, keeping up this tradition. Whilst many others have failed, SF Restaurant Club lives on....I just love it! In the heart of SOMA, over a meal of batter fried green beans (Yummm!), heirloom tomato salad, truffled squash blossom flatbread (delish), and homemade pasta (for 3 of us), and a fine bottle of syrah (thank you, Jarrod), we shared our lives' current events, our hopes for the future, the ups and the downs, and we of course love and support each other so much, it made my heart feel like it was bursting when I got home that night. I realize this is a sappier blog - can't help it :)
Restaurant Club started in May 2005 with Julia, Gail, Dionne and Stephanie, who all take turns picking the restaurant of their choice. Three main rules: (1) the person choosing must pick a restaurant they've never been to; (2) ordering dessert is mandatory and (3) guests must be female. We're eating (and drinking) our way through San Francisco...
