There are 3 rules to the game:
1) Every month one person picks the places to dine.
2) No one in the group could have eaten there before.
3) Everyone splits the bill.

-AUGUST-
Last night was Rachael’s choice of restaurants for the month. Cornerstone in Aspinwall was the destination. It is an attractive establishment offering a lovely front covered patio and an inside bar and dining room with white tablecloths and great service.Rachael ordered a Plane Ride ($12) with her favorite aperol, maker’s mark, agave and a luxardo cherry.We shared a Stone burger topped with gruyère cheese, dried tomatoes and bacon onion jam ($18). It was a very thick burger served with a side of sweet potato fries.The Mac n Cheese was tossed with pancetta, leeks, spring peas, mascarpone and Al dente orecchiette ($24). Very creamy but light on flavor.On to Oakmont for ice cream at Brr-Kee’s, open year round. It is a popular spot!! They did not offer a huge number of flavors, but they are very reasonably priced.I thought my espresso iced cream sandwich was presented really cute and homemade-looking in a sandwich baggie. It made me smile. Rachael had a nice hot fudge sundae topped with pecans and whipped cream.A gentleman asked to join us at our picnic table and he had a beautiful banana split commenting that he lives in Verona and Brr-Kee’s is often his dinner!Until next time, happy eating!
