CommunityBuzz! - San Francisco Meat-Mania #3. "House of Prime Rib" Thurs. 4/14, 8 pm

TIME CHANGE***8pm NOT 7pm***

Well its been long enough... Time for meat!

And nothing says meat like the words "House of Prime Rib"
Yes, The House of Prime Rib. Home to the roving Zepplin meat carts. Ready to dock at your table for repeated slices of juicy prime rib.
Home to the table-side spinning-on-a-bed-of-ice salad bowl.
And if that isn't enough sensation seekers, I hear from my confidential sources that "The House of Prime Rib" on Van Ness avenue has got new upgraded steak Knives.

Now, your probably asking yourself "can I really handle that much excitement? Can I really eat that much and live to tell the tale? And is it really possible for everyone to go home with a new steak knife without the waiter noticing?"

Well with your fellow FTers by your side, you better belive it!

It's time to eat at The House of Prime Rib - So who wants in!

See you soon,Tattikat2

Very tempting, do you have a date/time in mind for the do?

Yes, please. If not tonight, when? :)

Very tempting, do you have a date/time in mind for the do?

I'm thinking April, how does thursday the 14th ( laugh in the face of tax day) or monday the 18th sound?
I'll be happy to go on the most convenient date for the majority
As far as the time goes , we'll have to start early-ish due to the shear quantity of meat that we will be eating. Say 7pm?

Tattikat2

We're in San Diego until the 13th evening, but we'd be up for it if you have it after then.

HOPR...one of my favorites!

Love to go, Tommy,

But, the 18th is a Monday and I'm off to CVG. So, I vote for the 14th or after the 20th.

oh, I'm sooooo jealous. Another place I have to visit the next time I get out that way.

A chance to eat meat served from the Zepplin von Beefsteak?

You bet yer Sirloin I'll be there - assuming no previous engagement. The 14th works, the 18th is doable, but a tiny bit problematic for me...although if it worked for everyone else I can make it happen.

For the uninitiated in the ways of HOPR, here is all you need to remember - "Henry the Eighth Cut, Medium Rare, Mashed" followed by (repeat as many times as necessary) "Another Slice, please."

Hello meat lovers.

Well so far the 14th seems to work for everyone who's shown interest (Ocn Vw 1K-is it good for you?)

So unless I've missed something ,lets say Thursday 14th of April @7pm.

I will add the date into the heading and start a list of people coming. So let me know folks if you haven't already said that the 14th will work for you.

causing trouble are you ;)

i'll be there and i'll bring "dessert" :D

I'm in too! I just my be a little late because of work at the Sacramento River Cats that afternoon.

Very sorry but will be out-of-state 4/13-18. If OK with the group, I've modified the thread title to include the date/time.

I'll be there too - thanks!!

As much as I'd like to join you, I'll be trying NH F NRT-LHR on 4/14. Hope to catch up with the SF folk soon.

What's the Henry the Eighth cut?? I'm for the outside cut with all the crispy carcinogens.

What's the Henry the Eighth cut?? I'm for the outside cut with all the crispy carcinogens.

Henry the Eighth Cut: "Extra-generous, thick cut of prime beef, for king-size appetites."

Drat, I am doing a one day trip to SLC and back that day, and worse, it's from SJC! And when Squeakr's play is being read at the Magic, I'm in Asia.

I am finally getting the message loud and clear: RichardInSF, SHOWER MORE OFTEN!

Seriously: sorry, I really am into prime rib and haven't been to this place in years.

I may be small, but amazingly I can put away some serious beef!! Can't wait! Too bad you won't be able to make it, Richard. You just have follow your handle a little more closely and be "RichardInSF". ;)

There will have to be an encore for those of us who can't make it on the 14th.

Seriously, I've missed ALL the "meat meets" in SF so far! :(

But all the more reason to continue having them. @:-)

Darn! It's been a while since I've been to this restaurant and I'll be in SF 4/11 and 4/12, just missing the gastronomic fun.

Sorry to see that some people will not be able to attend :(
See you next time :)
Happy flying,Tattikat2

will be in Denver that night.. sorry to miss you guys again. :(

And if I don't have to meet with any of my colleagues, I would be pleased to join (and meat, er, I mean meet) you all. That is if a NYer is welcome ;)

And given my low carb preference, this is an ideal meal!!

I will be at the Park Hyatt on Battery -- can anyone tell me if I am walking distance from the restaurant?

It's about a mile and a half. Go out the side door of the lobby (not the one to the driveway) onto Battery. Make a left and walk a block to Washington. Make a left on Washington and walk about a mile and a quarter to Van Ness. (Van Ness will be obvious as it will be the biggest street you will encounter). Make a right on Van Ness and HOPR will be on your right.

If this is too far of a walk, other quick suggestions would be taking a Pine Street bus to Van Ness, or taking the California Street Cable Car from where it starts by the Hyatt Regency (Embarcadaro) to its end (a half block from Van Ness). The bus is USD 1.25 and the cable car is USD 3 (but obviously more fun than the bus).

Thanks, count me in. If anything comes up, or if I bring someone, I will let you know!

Never mind...

Hint: Look at the thread title. :)

I did and edited my post, but you were too darn fast to reply....

The walk should take about 30 mins - with one big hill. I was planning to take the cable car but if you're up for the walk, let me know. My office is 2 blocks away from your hotel.

Sounds like a plan...I will let you know closer to the day... ^

Be careful. From my experience in travelling with work2fly: first comes the heavy drinking, then the next thing you know, you and he are checking into a hotel in a city not on your itinerary. :D

Trust VPescado !! Everything is possible in San Francisco ! :)

Been there, done a lot of that....am a Brooklynite at heart, after all.... ;)

TravelKhatt would be very pleased to pull down a cow and gnaw on it in such august company.

Excellent news !! ^ ^
On the list you go, fair Travelkhatt.

Who else?

Tattikat2

Okay, I'm in! My (vegetarian) wife offerred to take me there for my birthday last year. Since she'll be out of town the 14th, and it happens to be the right day, it seems like the planets are aligning.

Plus, I haven't been to A Clean, Well Lighted Place for Books in far too long.

Hello alamedaguy
You are on the list!

Tattikat2

I hope there is some meat left after I for the Henry the VIII cut on on 4/7 ;)
I'm taking my wife there for her B-Day and then logging my 3rd IC stay at the Mark Hopkins that night even though I am a local.

The morning of the 14th, I'll be getting off a SFO-SEA-CLT-MKE MR, but would love to join next time! Can someone bump this thread when it comes time for Meat Mania #4, or PM me?

I've subscribed so I should be alerted!

Cheers,

I may be in....

Duty calls, so I must respectfully bow out of meat-mania #3... I hope to meet/meat you all next time!

Excellent news. Looking forward to seeing you again!

Today I decided to make the reservation at "HOPR" and 7pm was unavailable ...so I had to make an "executive decision" and grab the 8pm slot.

Now I hope this won't mean that people can't come. There is a bar for us to hang out at and I would suggest that a cocktail or 2 before hand wouldn't be a bad idea anyway so we could still meet between 7and 7.30 for a drink.

Sorry if this screws anyone's evening up :(

I will change the heading on my first post to reflect the new time and could a moderator please change the heading on the community page to the new time.

Thanks, Tattikat2 ^

Do you have room for one more?. Funny thing is I was hesitating to accept because I didn't know if I could make it from the East Bay after work by 7pm, but you solved that problem by making it 8pm!. Anyway, this will be my first chance to meet my fellow Bay Area FTr's and anyone else that may be there!. Oh I LOVE House of Prime Rib to boot. :D

Why yes we do!

Hello everyone.
Just wanted anyone on the list above who will not be able to attend to let me know. Other than that, looking forward to seeing everyone on thursday. I'll be there around 7.30 for a pre-meal drink.

:D

"This is your Meat-Mania#3 courtesy reminder message"
The count-down has begun. 25 hrs to go..
:D
Tattikat2

I'm sorry, but I can't make it. I JUST got home from work and guess what? My friends are over and they are throwing a surprise party for me since my birthday is on Saturday, but I'm leaving tomorrow for Phoenix. So, I sorta can't make it because the party is for me. Sorry again guys, I hope I can make the next meat meet.

Thank you very much tattikat2 for organizing this wonderful evening ^ .

Even though I didn't quite break my record of 32oz of prime rib, my son and I had a great time seeing old friends and meeting new bay-area FTers. I am already looking forward for Meat-Mania #4 :)

Thanks to everyone who came out and made it a great night out!
The ride home from Vpescado and Travelkhatt (with Willie-wonka) was most appreciated.
See you all again soon I hope.
Happy Flying, Tattikat2

my apologies to all but i got hung up at work....our annual disaster recovery test which was to take no more than an hour got "fubar'ed" and i was there until almost 11pm (and it still wasn't fixed).

well, it's now 6:45am and and it appears to be fixed so "on behalf of our data provider", my apologies for missing what i'm sure was a fun time.

and now, back to work to start "putting the pieces back together...."

tattikat and all,

I had a great time last night and have a nice chunk-o-prime rib I'll be eating for lunch in a couple of hours. Nice meeting (or should I say meating) all of you. Sign me up for number four!.

I had a great time and it was good to see everyone!

Thanks to tattikat2 for organizing. I'm already looking forward to the next meat meet!

I had great time, as well, though the tragedy of seeing so many medium to well done steaks will stay with me always.

Let me add my thanks to TattiKat.

Would anybody interested in doing #4 down the street at Harris'? It would be a bit more expensive, but it's worth it. IMHO.

Oh Man, I am still digesting last night's feast! (and lunch left-overs). I like your thinking though, I tried Harris's a couple of years ago during the annual dine about town, and it was most excellent (and yes fairly expensive, but worth it!).
