Cellar Door Provisions - Saturday, 2/28 at 9:30 AM

To encourage folks to come out and sample wares from this GNR-nominated restaurant/bakery, I'd like to organize two LTH outings.

This is a no-reservation, counter-service type restaurant with communal seating. Since seats are somewhat limited, I'm organizing two separate events outside their peak times from 10:30-1:30. One will be early - before they might run out of menu items. The other will be later.

Again, given the seating, I'm going to limit attendance at 5. Hopefully, organizing on different dates and times will accommodate more member schedules. I expect that seating won't be as much of a problem at these times, but we should be prepared to perhaps break into a group of 2 and 3 to be able to be seated quickly.

Roster:
1. gastro gnome
2. stevez
3. boudreaulicious

3025 W Diversey Ave
Chicago, IL 60647
(773) 697-8337

Count me in.

I'll join you on Saturday--thanks for organizing!

My understanding from their FB page is that if you want a loaf of bread to take home, you should pre-order it-- something to consider for attendees.

starting February 18th, which is next week, we will be changing the way we sell bread. If you want bread, just give us a ring, or put in an order in person at the store, at least one day in advance. We'll take your payment when you order and set aside your loaves for you to pickup by closing (3pm) on the day of your choosing. If there are any loaves of bread leftover after lunch service, we will sell those between 2:45 and 3pm every day - but the only way to make sure you get bread is to order at least one day in advance. We think this will take some of the guessing out of getting a bread to take home, and will hopefully decrease the number of folks who get turned away. Finally, kinds of bread available will be entirely up to whoever's making bread that day, and generally there will only be one kind of bread available each day. Okay! Order away!

Edited to add, I see that gastro gnome already posted the same information in the main CDP thread. You have been warned!

boudreaulicious & stevez - see you guys tomorrow morning. There still should be room for another couple of folks if people wake up and are feeling hungry for a bready breakfast.

Looking forward to it.
