To say that chef & owner Ron Eyester is a music lover is a bit of an understatement. Ron has built a reputation for his music tribute dinners for bands like
The Grateful Dead,
The Allman Brothers, and
Johnny Cash over the last few years. Tomorrow night we are hosting our first music tribute dinner since Ron has taken over as owner, and, appropriately, it is titled
Don't Panic - The Changes Aren't Widespread.

We had a great time at The Garcia Dinners last week! Everyone celebrated with lots of food, booze and most importantly, music! Thank you to those of you who joined us, and for those of you who missed it, we hope that you will be there next August! Here are a few photos from the first night. Pictured above is the electric band, gr8FLdüde & frenz.
