Country Club Restaurant Poll Results

And The Winner Is……

Two restaurants were neck and neck for first from start to finish! It’s likely no surprise to most that Legacy came in first place with 29.4% of the votes. I was a little surprised by the second place finisher, only because I’m embarrassed to say I’ve never eaten there: Havana! With 23.1% of the vote. I’ll be going there very soon as I see they have a nice looking Lamb Shank, and also smoked brisket on Tuesdays! Third place was Glenview, with 13.3%. I’ll post the chart of all the results in Monday’s newsletter.
