Honey 1 on Check Please + Dinner

LTH,

Honey 1 will be on Check Please Friday 10/13 at 8pm. Seems the perfect time for an LTHForum BBQ outing. Anyway, after Friday it may be difficult to get into Honey 1 for a while as the Check Please Effect* is a well known Chicago phenomenon.

Let's meet at 7:30 for BBQ and watch Check Please on Honey 1's large wall-mounted TV. Honey 1 is BYOB.

The other two restaurants on Check Please will be Terragusto and Cuatro.

Please respond either in the thread or pm as I would like to give Mr. Adams, Pitmaster extraordinaire, a heads up as to approximate number.

All are welcome, the more the merrier!

Enjoy,
Gary

*Crushing crowds after a Check Please Showing

Hi,

I have a program nearby and will stop by afterwards. Don't count me for dinner, just count me to stop on by.

BTW - Ed's Potsticker House is on the cusp of obtaining Check Please status. When I was there on Friday night, they did not yet know the air date.

Regards,

Put me down for myself +2 as the kids will be happy to attend. We were there for the taping and they'd love to see if they made it into the episode:)

I think I'll be there

I'm in for 1.

Mrs. JiLS and I will join the fun!

I'd like to go!

I've not made it there yet, so that seems like as good a time as any for my first visit. But I am leaving for a week in the morning, so my attendance will depend on if I've gotten everything else in my life accomplished.

I'm 65.32% sure I'll be there.

I'm in!

I generally believe that the Great Q-Master was right when he advised me that good barbeque , like certain other primal pleasures, is best enjoyed behind closed doors. However, this seems like an excellent time to make an exception! Phyllis, Gabe and I would love to attend. Daughter Molly would too, but will be away on a school trip. Put us down for 3 .

LTH,

It appears we will have a special guest for the Honey 1 Check Please LTH event, the person who presented H1 on the show, Craig "Meathead" Goldwyn. It will be interesting to be able shoot a few questions Craig's way about CP and the taping.

Craig's a Chicagoland BBQ guy who knows his way around a smoker. Craig's web site is The Zen of Ribs

Hope to see you there.

Enjoy,
Gary

I might very well be able to swing this one:

Should new folks wear nametags?

See you there!

I really, really want to go. I love pulled pork and the last time I stopped at Honey 1 a certain group had eaten it all.

The calendar looks open at this point and the wife and I should be able to come.

Thanks for setting this up!

Please add 2 more, Me and the DH.

Hugs,

I saw the ad for this weeks' episode and there was a profile shot of me chowing down on some ribs:)

I'll be there... =)

Count us in for 5. Me, JimtheBeerGuy, our two kids, and my dad, who is visiting us for the first time since we moved here!

Sir Wiv,

If there's still room, Ms. V. and I would be delighted to attend.

Mr. V,

Always room for Mr. Harry V and bride, always a pleasure to see you.

Enjoy,
Gary

i'm there plus 1 please.

I'm a new LTH member and the guy who speaks for Honey 1 on "Check Please". My wife and I will be there to celebrate great Q with you. Please don't laugh at my shirt when you see it on TV. I'll never wear it again, I promise.

Have you seen the ad at the bottom of the page? Don't worry, we're more concerned with what you put in your mouth than on yourself.

LTH,

It's shaping up to be a terrific evening! We are up to 44 LTHers, with another 6 in the possible category.

With this large of a crowd it would be difficult to arrive at 7:30, order individually and still be situated to see Honey 1 on Check Please at 8pm, also mightily strain Honey 1's BBQ ecosystem. To this effect Honey 1 is setting up a fresh-from-the-smoker BBQ buffet of ribs, tips, links, fresh from the fryer chicken wings, okra and a big pan of coleslaw. By special request there will also be H1's deep fried gizzards, though not "more than a man can carry" as requested.

Cost is $15 per person* and will include soft drinks, tax and tip.

Honey 1 is BYOB.

Enjoy,
Gary

What the heck, I'm in for one.

See you guys there.

Was that Octarine chowing down on ribs in the promo for the show?

Tom,

Yep, good eye. There's also a nice shot of Michael M (Eatchicago) and his lovely bride in the promo.

Enjoy,
Gary

Put me down as a maybe/most likely.

Unfortunately, I found out this afternoon that I am going to be out in DuPage county that day, and not downtown. So I am afraid I will not be able to attend.
