Much of the private club-based social experience has been defined by exclusivity. When Kim Bosse sought something more inclusive, she joined forces with a childhood friend to create Birch Road Cellar, a neighborhood-based BYOB social club. In this episode, Manilow explores what communal socializing means, especially when it's not in your own home.

Manilow also visits with Ally Marotti from the Crain’s newsroom to discuss the unusual relationship between chain establishments and Chicago. Their discussion leads to a new take on dinner and a movie. Plus, when your carryout meal yields a parking ticket, you have to ask: "Was the food ticket-worthy?" On this edition of "Where Dave Ate," our host confronts that question. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
