Chicago--Butcher & Larder Dinner 2-9-14

Today is the annual-ish dinner at Butcher & Larder that brings together many Chicagoland Berserkers alongside much wine & fun. Unfortunately we have lost 1 man for certain today & another is tentative. I’d love to keep Rob at B&L whole, so posting this up for anyone who can fill in last minute.

Shop is open to us starting at 6, meal served at 6:30. $120 covers food, tax, tip. BYO stems; very casual setting. PM me if you’re interested. Thanks! [cheers.gif]
