JULY restaurant

Hey guys.

Since I instigated this whole new restaurant thing, I'm changing JULY's new restaurant to the FOURTH Thursday of the month... and it will be ST. LOUIS!

ha ha ha!!!!

So if anyone wants to fly out to ST. LOUIS - you are more than welcome!!!!

Karen and Ben and AJ and I will be St. Louis on the fourth weekend, and we'll be dining in a new restaurant - though probably a new restaurant for them, but not for me. We'll see what the situation is.

Anyway the AUGUST restaurant resume the tradition of the third thursday of the month - we'll be having dinner on AUGUST 17th.

If anyone has suggestions let me know. Though they are on the higher end - I'm thinking of a hotel restaurant like Ame at the new St. Regis Hotel (I've heard WONDERFUL things about it) or Asia de Cuba at the Clift Hotel which I've also heard rave reviews about.

AJ and I had a sample of some food from Ame at the Meals on Wheels fundraiser (you can read about the fundraiser on my personal blog) and it was delicious. The woman who sat right next to us absolutely RAVED about the restaurant, having gone there the previous week for her birthday. Ame was also listed in the June Bon Appetit magazine as one of the hot 10 restaurants in The Restaurant Reporter column. Just something to think about.

Our friend Stacy (who we visited in Argentina last year) came to visit SF again six months ago and went to Asia de Cuba and absolutely loved it. The decor looks surreally appealing, and I think the giant cross table would be a great table for a huge group of us.

Anyway let me know if you guys are interested in either, or if you have any other suggestions.

Cheers!
