NORTHWEST -- Conspiracy theories aside, rumors abound about the District's alleged number of secret societies. And award-winning restaurant J&G Steakhouse further added to the clandestine mix last week, with the launch of its new '515 Society' group.



Essentially a rewards program for the eatery's friends and most loyal customers, the by-invitation-only initiative boasts numerous benefits, including a complimentary J&G breakfast upon sign-up (food only), complimentary valet parking at lunch, 20% off special events, and priority seating in the dining room.



Are you a Beltway insider or captain of industry that is sick of the chewy chicken during the annual Alfalfa Club dinner? Not to worry. The 515 Society has you covered with a surprise extra course on the tasting menu, courtesy of Executive Chef Philippe Reininger.


And a lucky group of Washingtonians got to witness the perks of membership firsthand last week, during the program's launch party, which boasted tasty pairings of vintage port, artisanal cheese, and gourmet chocolate.


So what's the key to joining the ranks of The 515 Society? Being friends with J&G's general manager John Leinhardt or W Washington, D.C. hotel general manager Olivier Servat probably doesn't hurt. But the price of admission could also be as low as flashing a cheery smile at your waiter during your next visit.


Only then will you get to learn the secret handshake.
