About this listen

There was a time when there were many gentlemen’s dining clubs. There is something very 19th century about them. And there are probably not that many that are descended from a club that has been around for a good while. Although it is a 20th century club, the New Orleans club - the Escargot Society - is a spiritual descendant of those clubs where gentlemen met to appreciate good wine and food. Dominic Massa, a member of the Escargot Society, joins us to talk about the club’s history. Listen, it’s on Tip of the Tongue.
