    I'd like to organize a GNR Appreciation Dinner at The Brown Sack on Friday August 1st at 7:00PM. A perfect time for a milkshake!

    It is cash only. They do have an ATM inside.

    Let me know if you'd like to come.

    While I love many of their offerings I have been going to the Sack since it's original location for my favorite Sloppy Joe . On my last visit I was told that they no longer offer it. Haven't been back since.

    Shit, that was part of the reason I signed up. These shakes better be good. ;)

    The BLT with avocado and shrimp is a fine substitute for the Sloppy Joe, and don't miss the soup of the day! Have fun. I wish I could be there.

    I'd bet that a call in advance saying you had a bunch of folks wanting sloppy joes might land it on the specials board...

    As I am always on the lookout for a good Sloppy Joe, I had a very good one last week at the the Silver Cloud at the NW corner of
    Damen and Wabansia.

    So glad I ran into you yesterday, Ava. I am planning to come tomorrow with the munchkin. Hopefully naps/bedtime will cooperate. :)

    And in true LTH fashion we were admiring the fruit at Klug's stand at Green City Market! :mrgreen:

    Okay! And I forgot, again, the most important part of these outings is the ability to break bread with good people. So yeah! Sorry.
