    In the spirit of alternating higher end versus more econ-friendly options, the group had discussed a trip to CND a while back. Since nothing has popped up on the board for this month, I'm throwing this out there. No menu planning required and I've never been so have no idea what the capacity would be for the place (do we need to limit our number or can all be accommodated? If anyone can help with this, please chime in.)

    Otherwise, I'm happy to keep the list of whose attending--hope to see you all on the 24th.

    It's all Greek for me!

    I checked the menu. There are options for the vegetarian (aside from salad) plus I can't resist the company, so unless my trial runs long, count me in. Opa!

    Can someone pm me with their cell number - I'll be in line at the Apple store before this, and depending on how the timing goes, may be eating a free burger from M burgers while in line...

    I'm sorry I had to rush out. I wish I had the hardihood of Panther & the Mrs for a Progressive Lunch today.

    Jen- Thanks for organizing.

    Great Lunch!

    Image

    The Gyro Melt with Egg was spot on. Gyro meat nicely crisped and juicy. It all came together well.

    Image

    Some other items...

    Image
    Chicken Sandwich

    Image
    Smelt Dinner

    Image
    Greek Chicken Dinner

    Image
    The food was the only winner.

    Progressive Lunch? You bet!

    My Bride and I stopped by at Jury's after hearing much about them and having never tried.

    The Jury is no longer out. That was one great Burger!

    Great to see everyone as usual. The gyro patty melt was spot on. The greek salad is refreshing on a warm summer day. As mbh pointed out, it's the greek salad dressing that makes it, of course, topped with chunks of feta. Glad it's not right around the corner from my office, too readily available to delicious greasy food.

    Jen - Thanks again for organizing.

    I'm sorry I missed it :( I should have called you guys and asked you to bring me a sandwich in line (I was only a few blocks away) instead of eating the free food I got. 5 freaking hours in line, I think I can truly be called crazy.

    My husband's MacBook arrived today. I thought of you. It's our household's first Apple computer (we don't count ipods). So is the phone everything you thought it would be?
