Dec 9 6:30 PM	Babe's Chicken Dinner House and BYOB in Frisco Babe's Chicken Dinner House and BYOB in Frisco We had a DiD event at Babe's in Carrollton and we had great food and company. Se we are doing another event in Frisco and you are invited. This will be a joint event. Bring your favorite wine to go with chicken and to share. Babe's Chicken Dinner House has great family style cooking. The “fried chicken and biscuits puts your mother’s to shame”. Their “old-fashioned” American cooking comes with “all-you-can-eat” “fixings” (like “great” homemade biscuits) passed “family-style”. And they are BYOB (Bring your own Wine too)!! This is good comfort food that will remind you of your Grandma’s house. Food is served family style, simple iceberg salad, buttermilk biscuits and gravy, green beans, corn, and mashed potatoes. Please see their web site for full menu: Menu Babe's Chicken Dinner House 6475 Page St. (Church St.) Frisco, TX 75034 Phone: 214-387-9500 http://www.babeschicken.com/ The Usual Stuff: Dress code: Casual If the event is full, please join the Wait List. A place may be available later. I increase event size since so many people requested to come. We may have 2 tables since they do not accept reservations. Changing your RSVP to “no” less than 24 hours before an event - Email the organizer. Not doing so is considered a “no-show”. I recommend everyone print directions and the restaurant’s phone number. Asking me for directions is not a good idea; my friends say I can’t navigate out of a paper bag without my Garmin, and they’re correct!

Feb 10 27 2010 7:00 PM	'Open That Bottle Night' 11 & NTWE's 4th Anniversary Started by Dorothy J. Gaiter and John Brecher of The Wall Street Journal. In their words, "We invented OTBN for a simple reason: All of us, no matter how big or small our wine collections, have that single bottle of wine we simply can never bear to open. Maybe it's from Grandpa's cellar or a trip to Italy or a wedding. We're always going to open it on a special occasion, but no occasion is ever special enough. So it sits. And sits. Then, at some point, we decide we should have opened it years ago and now it's bad anyway, so there's no reason to open it, which gives us an excuse to hang onto it for a few more decades. So OTBN -- which is now always the last Saturday in February -- offers a great opportunity to prepare a special meal, open the bottle and savor the memories." So bring a bottle you've been saving for that special occasion, and we'll help you share the bottle and the occasion...
