goodeats Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 Bumpity bump for interest. Payment will be through paypal, once I work things out. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielK Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I'm not sure if my schedule will allow me to go, but for all those of you on the fence, please don't miss this dinner. $50 for 5 courses tax and tip included comes out to $8/course before tax and tip. That's an amazingly good price for this lovely Bethesda restaurant. For you MD-based folks who always fuss about how the events seem to be DC or NoVa-centric, here's your chance. And for you NoVa folks, I make the commute home from Falls Church to Potomac every day, and I can tell you that, even in traffic, it's less than 30 minutes from Falls Church to Grapeseed.

mdt Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 What about wine? Any chance of BYO? BYO? Hopefully in addition to buying from their list. Right? BYO is not a bad thing, but this is one of the few restaurants in MoCo that has done a very good job with their wine list, not to mention the great deal for this dinner.

DanielK Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I can't go. My 9-year-old daughter's science fair is that night, and she's spent a ton of time dropping Mentos into various sodas to make them explode. No live demonstration at the fair , but I do have to attend. Go, people! This is an unbelievable price for this meal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff has been a valuable, active member of this board for a long time, and his only flaw is that he played on the SECOND best Montgomery County football team of the 1980s. But ya couldn't beat 2009 Maryland State 4A Basketball Champion Springbrook, could ya, Mr. All-Met. So I'm likely a yes (with pairings, por favor). P.S. $50 for these five courses, all-inclusive, plus passed hors d'oeuvres? Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkS Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I have to pass, my son has a Lax game. And my other son is back from college for the week. So I will live vicariously through those that attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.S. $50 for these five courses, all-inclusive, plus passed hors d'oeuvres? Really? Uh, Don... I will try and find my letter jacket with my "1980 State Champions" Patch proudly stitched to the breast, for the event. I could even be talked into, maybe, raffling it off for a good cause. Particulars for that team are: 12-0; outscoring opponents 370-62; zero points allowed during the playoffs. Granted we stumbled a bit the next few years, but Seneca currently has the most state football championships of any team in Maryland with 12. Yes, 50 bucks for the menu. Looking forward to see everyone next week. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
