    Here at LTH Forum, we tend to get easily distracted by the latest shiny object thrust before us and sometime tend to forget the old favorites. This was the case with me and Little Three Happiness. After a long absence, my recent lunch at LTH reminded me how great this restaurant can be. So I suggest we once again "dance with the one what brung us to the dance". Join me on Thursday 3/4/10 @ 7:30 P.M. for a blowout feast of LTH's greatest hits. G Wiv has promised to make a fresh batch of his chili oil and to help me arrange the menu. Attendance is limited to 20 people.

    'Little' Three Happiness
    209 W Cermak Rd
    Chicago, IL 60616
    312-842-1964

    Sign me up, along with my wife, please. We had dinner at Moon Palace last night and I was pointing out LTH on the way to the car, realizing that we've still never been there and promising to look up some specific dish recs on the forum and try it sometime soon.

    This works a lot better :D

    Well, that didn't take long. We're full up, but I will start a waiting list. People's plans always change at the last minute, so someone will probably have to drop out and places will undoubtedly open up.

    Steve - The menu looks delish. Please add me to the waiting list. Is this a BYOB event? Or do they have decent libation list?

    P.S. - Thanks for the Beard Papa snack!

    Can't wait. Although I shouldn't have looked at this now considering all I've eaten today is a small blizzard, zuke bread, & coffee.

    Jim,

    I'm not a drinker, so I'm not sure if LTH is BYOB all the time, but I'm pretty sure BYOB will be permitted for our dinner. I knoiw I've seen many bottles of bourbon and/or wine at past events.

    In the past 'Little' Three Happiness has allowed hard liquor and wine, they prefer we order beer from them. I will check with Ray, co owner of 'L'TH, to make sure past policy holds.

    Enjoy,
