The first Fairmount Food Crawl occurred on Sunday February 23, 2014. It was a good idea.  Unfortunately, a lot of restaurants ran out of their pig themed food crawl dishes/appetizers/small bites relatively early on. 

We managed to sample food at Rembrandt's, La Calaca Feliz, and The Bishop's Collar.

To ring in the Chinese New Year, a bit belated, I attended a 30 person dinner at Sang Kee Asian Bistro.  It was banquet family style and the food was decent.  One thing that was missing this time around was peking duck.  Overall it was an enjoyable meal.
