We just ordered and locked on the 7 course chef’s tasting.

The drinks have arrived!

Course 3: Soft Shell Crab

A little disappointing. Really good peas…good enough that Ian is a future vegetarian.!

#49: Senate

If the grease doesn’t kill you, a hot dog may!

In spite of several less than glowing recos, we decided to make the trip to Senate for our 49th FDWC outing.

The evening started off well with a nice drink list and several intriguing starters. Of the 5 diners (Maggie was out sick), a ‘super-majority’ started with the “My Wife’s Salad” and all agreed it was one of the best they had at a FWDC event. Kyle had the Egg and Bacon Salad which was also excellent.

Bacon and Egg Salad

The shared starters also fared well.

okay, so it's usually not the first, or even a Wednesday
