We started 2017 at a Vietnamese Restaurant called Co Nam. Julia's pick because she couldn't resist digging into the flavors of Vietnam after her amazing trip. Unfortunately, other than the papaya salad, Co Nam didn't live up to any of the authentic flavors of Vietnam. It was pretty good, but not outstanding, and quite pricey for what it was. It was nice to take a trip down Memory Lane - i.e. Polk Street, where none of us had been in quite a while. It was nice reprieve from the grim political climate of 2017. Trump was inaugurated 9 days ago, and Stephanie and Dionne were at the women's march in Washington, D.C. We all don't know what the future holds, though it gets more depressing by the way, but at least we have each other!! Bone marrow Bird's nest, fried noodles.
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...
