They're booked. Have been since yesterday. Nice folks are starting a waiting list.
Slightly miffed that this posted at 5:26am today...
Will still eat good things with friends on Thursday. At least spending part of the morning running down this event is that I know we're all free for dinner Thursday.
Sorry. Who knew so many people had that kind of money to spend on a weeknight dinner? LV

kitchengeek, you can sign up for direct emails from Woodberry Kitchen and not have to wait until the news appears here.

I'm not saying I HAVE the money, but I'm also not saying I want to miss the dinner!
As for e-mail lists, it's true, and I should sign up for theirs. But the "geek" in my name also means I've had e-mail addresses and been on lists for so long now that it's past the point of saturation in terms of inbox offers. Perhaps a new address just for food offers that gets checked every Sunday night...we'll see.

Yes, kitchengeek, divide and conquer. My sister routinely uses her cats' names when signing up for something new, and it is amazing to see what offers come their way. I have at least 4 email addresses, but I'm sure others have way more.

Dahlink, I use my cat's names for grocery store "club cards". A different one for each store. That way I can tell who tried to sell my name to which mailing list.
I periodically get a mailing addressed to a now-deceased cat.
On a semi-related note, I noticed today that I can no longer login to the Sun website without using a third-party authentication source like Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, etc. I find this disturbing.
