VI.             Restaurant/Food Establishment-Specific Notes

a.    We received good, friendly service and were seated at a nice corner table.

b.    The group was impressed overall by the quality and variety of the buffet-style brunch.  We especially enjoyed the omelet station and the mini waffles!  Though, it was noted that there could have been more light and/or vegetarian options available.  The menu was quite heavy and there was a lot of meat. 

a.    We officially have a Facebook group for The Foodventurers!  Use it.  Use it often.

b.    The idea of having an official Foodventurers t-shirt has been proposed and Lindsey has started playing around with some concepts on CustomInk.com.  There is a need to discuss ideas for the shirt design – things like t-shirt color, potential logo, names or nicknames on the back, etc.
