Some of my friends have been going to an almost monthly dinner for four years now. Less a big gap for covid that started basically a day after I shipped home from Provide, Rhode Island from a business planning trip and sat away from others as it was an unknown at the time. The crowd changes a bit here and there as kids and girlfriends and ex-girlfriends show up and people run into commitments.The food isn't always good, but that generally becomes part of the lore.I think my favorites have been Chimborazo and Mama Sheila's House of Soul, but we've been to a lot of my favorite places to eat including Christo's, Winzer Stube [RIP], Moscow on the Hill, and Peninsula.All of us at Kasada for dinner last week.
