I organize a Foodie Club with my friend Erick (known as EP). At random intervals, roughly monthly, we do particularly extravagant dinners. These not only have obscenely good (and lengthy) meal services, but also particularly lavish wine (from my cellar). This index includes any dinner with both Erick and I that is not primarily organized by some other group, as well as a few organized by me with other friends.
You can always find the main FOOD INDEX on the right side bar (the knife and fork icon), and this foodie index is below under Top Posts as “Foodie Dinners.” You can also see inline all the Foodie Club posts by clicking here.
