Serial Diners | Eating their way through the phone book
Having trouble deciding where to go for dinner tonight? Why not take on the SERIAL DINERS' challenge of alphabetically eating your way through the restaurants listed in your city's Yellow Pages, one restaurant a week?
The original Serial Diners group, founded in Toronto in 1989, has already reached restaurants beginning with the letter "J," and members expect to eat their way through to Z by 2035. As of now, the idea has spawned Serial Diners Ottawa, Vancouver, Montreal, New York, New Jersey, and more.
Most groups meet every Friday for dinner at the designated restaurant, which is the next one listed in the Yellow Pages with its own separate listing. They don't need to visit every location unless a restaurant has been listed more than once. If the group for some reason can't eat at the chosen restaurant, they "fill up at Harvey’s" -- a generic term for going to any (usually nearby) restaurant other than the official destination.
New members are always welcome: If you're in the T-dot and are interested, visit probability.ca/diners for the remainder of their 2007 agenda. Or join the Vancouver Serial Diners while they're still on the "A"s -- find their agenda at vancouverserialdiners.yp.ca.
