Post #4 - July 13th, 2011, 12:13 pmJust for the record, I return to Chicago on August 24. If the August gathering is on Thursday August 25th or later, I will be there. Count this as a threat or an opportunity as you wish.Toast, as every breakfaster knows, isn't really about the quality of the bread or how it's sliced or even the toaster. For man cannot live by toast alone. It's all about the butter. -- Adam Gopnik

Post #5 - July 13th, 2011, 2:33 pmthat time of year again--if I'm not headed to Jeffersonville, IN for a baseball tournament, count me it. Will update status on Monday (or earlier if we lose) when I'll know for sure. Been wanting to try this place!!"Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad."

Yeah, that's my issue, too. Still, I know I'm not going to skip lunch (lol) but I'm not sure if I'll have time for a long lunch, since I'll be leaving the office early for the GCM event.

Post #9 - July 15th, 2011, 12:04 pmI haven't been to Renga Tei in years. I will attempt to make this lunch.
I know this will be a stupid question before I even ask it, but:
Does the Evanston Lunch Group ever meet for dinner?

Then they'd need to make new membership cards.

Incite--Hope you can make our lunch at Renga-Tei!
As far as I know, the Evanston Lunch Group has not had a dinner outing, although I've certainly had dinner with some of the regular ELG attendees, but as part of a larger LTH gathering. That said, my knowledge goes back only 4 years, while the ELG's history goes back to at least 2004.
If you can make it to lunch, we can certainly discuss this idea further. Look forward to seeing you!"Life is a combination of magic and pasta." -- Federico Fellini

LTH North cares more about the food and company than membership cards. It's in our bylaws.

Post #16 - July 19th, 2011, 3:28 pmI think you'd better downgrade me from probable to doubtful.

Post #17 - July 19th, 2011, 4:30 pmMuch as it kills me since I VERY much want to try this place, I know it's not a good idea to do a lunch like this on the same day as the GCM BBQ in 100+ degree heat. Oh well....enjoy and hope to make it for another one."Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad." Miles Kington

I'll try to get there early tomorrow, but just in case, the reservation is under "Forum.""Life is a combination of magic and pasta." -- Federico Fellini
