Monthy Rag Restaurant List

Here's a list of all of the restaurants that we have visited over the past five years. Feel free to comment on the most memorable (or least memorable) ones. I'll try to repost this list every few months.

I'll just use the UT's form of classifying the prices of each restaurant:
