How many times have you gone out with friends, and then realized that it was easier for one person to pay the bill, with you then paying them back later with cash, or vice versa? How many times have you totally forgotten to pay that person back, or vice versa… you or they have been totally stiffed. Accidently of course, but you have now paid for everyone's meal without really intending to.  With Serve you never have to worry about that again. I will explain how in a minute.

A few weeks ago, I received the opportunity to take a few of my friends out for dinner on Serve. Who wouldn't jump at that chance?!  I grabbed three friends and we were off for a night on the town.  Living in Vegas, we have ALL kinds of options.  We decided to try Bobby Flay's restaurant Mesa Grill located inside Caesars Palace down on the Las Vegas Strip.

 

In our group we have Janeen who is responsible for The Most Amazing Chocolate Cake Ever, Kristin the mastermind of the soon to be released Deal or Bust, your's truly, and Christene one of my regular contributors and who is also about ready to publish her first novel. What a fun group!!
