All the Awesome Places We Had Listener Lunch in 2023 [GALLERY]

We can't believe it, but we have officially reached the end of 2023 Listener Lunch! We had our final lunch of the year on Tuesday at Chrome Horse Saloon in Cedar Rapids, which means we will be taking a break until 2024. We don't do lunch in December because of busy holiday schedules, plus it gives us a chance to regroup and prepare for next year.

Before we move into the new year, we wanted to give a shout out and say THANK YOU to all of the amazing area restaurants that we had the pleasure of dining at in 2023. Here are the places we visited:

• January - Lucky's on 16th, Cedar Rapids
• March - The Red Frog, Cedar Rapids
• April - Whiskey River Grill, Palo
• May - Wild Hogs Saloon & Eatery, Walford
• June - Cellar 19 Wine & Deli, Cedar Rapids
• July - Goldfinch Tap + Eatery, Marion
• August - The Class Act Restaurant, Cedar Rapids
• September - Biaggi's Ristorante Italiano, Cedar Rapids
• October - Runt's Munchies, Cedar Rapids

Now, we want to show off some of the delicious meals that we ate over the course of the year! Check out the photos and be sure to add some of these restaurants to your "must-try" list:

We also need to thank all of the listeners who came to lunch with us these past 11 months! We met so many cool people and had so many hilarious conversations, we can't wait to do it again in 2024! We will let you know when we start accepting lunch entries for next year. See you then!
