All of us at the Epicurean Society of Southern Jersey would like to thank everyone that attended our monthly dinner meetings during the 2007/2008 season.  Each and every meeting was a grand night to remember, offering great speakers, over the top entertainment, good friends, and out of this world epicurean delights! We don't want to rush the summer away, knowing you are looking towards lazy summer nights and all that summer brings, BBQs and days at the beach or just relaxing with the ones you love. However, we are already cooking up our next season that will begin this coming September. If you thought this year was one to remember just wait and see what we have in store for you!
