Fine Dining Club Ideas

[Georgia Avenue]

So me and a bunch of semi-broke co-workers and friends have been bitching about the lack of good food in our lives. We've been planning to start going out in a big group once a month to a rather expensive (thinking 20-30 a plate) place. We'd like to make it more $ but there aren't too many real gourmet restaurants in B-more!

Anyway, how can we alleviate the cost of this club? Would we be able to swing some kind of group discount from the restaurants if we called far in advance? I was guessing no, they'd probably try to fleece us even more! Could we pool our $$ in some creative way to save up? Naked carwash? <----Bad idea...

I'm thinking it'll be around 10-12 people.

I'm sick of Chipolte already...please help...
