Post #1 - October 8th, 2012, 1:16 pmRick Bayless is bringing a Frontera Fresca to Northwestern University, and the Evanston Lunch Group wants to check it out. But it is not clear if FF will be open in time for our next outing, Tuesday, October 23rd. If we can, we will head to Norris Center on the Evanston campus for our next lunch.
But if Frontera Fresca is not yet open, we have an excellent Plan B: Todoroki Hibachi & Sushi in downtown Evanston, which no LTHer has yet commented upon. Todoroki’s menu features sashimi, nigiri, and maki as well as a variety of hibachi proteins plus soups and appetizers.
Please join us at one of these two Evanston restaurant newbies. I will post a few days prior which we will go to, based on whether or not Frontera Fresca is open in time.
Tuesday, October 23, 2012, 12:30 pm.

Frontera Fresca
Norris Center, Northwestern University
1999 Campus Drive
Evanston, IL 60208
(847) 467-6111
Plan B:
Todoroki Hibachi & Sushi
526 Davis Street
Evanston, IL 60201

Post #2 - October 8th, 2012, 1:42 pmExcellent idea for Plan B. I'll be at either.

Post #3 - October 9th, 2012, 10:53 pmIf Frontera is open, I will be there. If not, I will have to take a pass. I teach until 12:20 and then again at 2:00 (arriving at 1:50). The timing off campus will be too tight.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 #4 - October 11th, 2012, 4:25 pmTo balance out Gary (not to suggest that he is off-balance in any way
), I'm definitely in if it's Plan B, but may have to take a pass if it's Plan A.

Post #10 - October 26th, 2012, 2:43 amWell, I took the photos, but don't feel a need to post them, unless someone else is interested. The sushi is well-described by the word meh, which probably isn't surprising for a place that offers all-you-can-eat sushi near a college campus, with a reasonably good beer menu, if you like Sapporo. I liked EvA's comment, "Well, it's a little better than supermarket sushi." For a college student with a huge appetite on a slightly restricted budget (e.g. can't afford Kuni's on Main St, Evanston) it might be a fun location.
