Let’s Dine Out Show’s Grub Club sells out…in a good way

If you were thinking about making reservations for the next Let’s Dine Out Show Grub Club event—  set for September 17 at the Grand Oak Steakhouse in Cherry Valley — you’re too late.

The event was announced in the early part of June and all reservations — more than 100 — were gone in just a couple of weeks.

A second date at the steakhouse was floated as a possibility, but apparently won’t happen.

It appears the next event is being planned for Mantra Indian Cuisine in Corona, a restaurant recently featured on the Let’s Dine Out Show radio program.
