Post #8 - May 6th, 2013, 8:40 pmClearance granted! (With the caveat of, "OOOH, you can bring me some stuff home!")
IF sour beer and szechwan peppercorns go together, I can bring a few bottles. I know I have some Petrus, maybe others too.We cannot be friends if you do not know the difference between Mayo and Miracle Whip.

In my experience, szechwan peppercorns ruin the taste of beer. It makes it taste metallic and completely masks the subtler flavors of the beer. I sadly ruined a good bottle of beer at Lao Hunan a couple months ago, and consider that my lesson learned.

Post #12 - May 12th, 2013, 4:25 pmI'll try to join you, as well.
I was at Katy's in Oak Park last night and tried the "beef stew with spicy beer sauce" with an included side of rice (choice of white or brown.) It was pretty good, with nicely tender slices of beef plus mushroom, red and green bell pepper, along with bite-sized pieces of some sort of white tubular vegetable (bamboo shoot?), swimming among a number of wok-ed red chiles in an assertive broth/sauce. I was dining solo, else I might also have ordered dan dan noodles and/or fish & chive pot stickers, which I've enjoyed there multiple times.
I find that service drifts between relaxed and unattentive, although that's been more of a minor quibble than a show-stopper. E.g., when your water glass is empty, it may be more expeditious to just get up and refill it at the soda fountain rather than wait for it to be noticed by the (seemingly young and inexperienced) service staff. Anyway, such thoughts tend to dissolve when those dramatic dishes finally do arrive and capture one's attention.
...Hope to make it Monday night.

Post #14 - May 15th, 2013, 7:52 amI have to say that was one of the most successful OPB outings I've been at.
Great food, crazy low prices, liberal BYO policy, close to home, what more could you ask for?!
If we're ever at a loss for a place to hit up next I say we make a return visit to Katy's rather than forego a night out.
