Dine-Around Restaurants
- Mathieu Plourde
- Kevin Pittman
On Tuesday night, June 12th, we'll have six dine-arounds. What is a dine-around? It's a chance to go out for a casual dinner with other conference attendees and make a few new friends while discovering some of the unique cuisines of the deep south. Below is the full list of restaurants that we have selected, and you can sign up for a slot here.
Please note that you should plan to meet your group in the Westin hotel lobby (5th floor) by the given time - departure to the restaurant will be very shortly after that time. Times are staggered to accommodate attendees who want to go to some of the other Tuesday night activities (more to come on that) and then have a late dinner. Dress for all dine-arounds is business casual. Prices given are the average range for each restaurant, not including tax and tip, and you can certainly spend much more than that if you want.
