Club Dine In! hosted two events and one meet-up last week. It was really fun to watch Black Swan and then have dinner at Dosa on Fillmore together. Also, it was a real pleasure to listen to author Jessica Theroux talk about her experience in writing, Cooking With Italian Grandmothers. The cookbook is a real treat and fun to read. Also, each recipe is simple and easy to make. Please join us for the cookbook potluck party is on January 15th, 5PM.
Our first Grub Crawl was so much fun too! Thanks to the guys at Grub Crawl for organizing the event and coordinating an exclusive menu just for us!
