CHICAGO - Progressive Vietnamese Dinner Do - June 27
Hey all, Chicago has a terrific little Saigon area on the north side of Chicago (Argyle & Broadway).

I was thinking of having a progressive dinner in late June. Think small bites of quite a variety of Vietnamese food staples.

Stop #1: Cafe Hoang for their Goi Ga salad

Stop #2: Ba le for some banh mi sandwiches

Stop #3: either some banh xeo &/or grilled beef in spring roll thit nuong rau song

Stop #4: Pho

Stop #5: a surprise

Date: June 27

Start Time: 6:30pm

Anyone interested?

Not counting my chickens yet. She still has four months to change her mind, after all

I will be attending my son's wedding in Lake Tahoe that weekend. Coming home late on 6/25 so depending on my work schedule, I can only only be a maybe at this point. Sounds great though!

Now that you are an Omni/PR mod, you have to retain your neutrality. If you are going to have a progressive dinner you will have to balance it with a conservative meal.

I would love to join in but my fiancee accepted a pharmacy residency position so we'll be moving at the end of June out to Seattle! If there are any more Tuesday burger meet-ups at Beer Bistro before then I'd love to go, but otherwise I need to start looking at FT Seattle get-togethers.

Have fun with the progressive dinner - I've always wanted to do one of those!

As long as I'm in town, I will attend. This is very close to my home so if anyone needs directions, I can assist.

This sounds great. Willie, you keep coming up with some great DOs.

No preference for either 26th or 27th. I will try very hard to arrange travel to attend. Strong "probably" for now....

Have you picked a date yet? I'd definitely be interested & I'm sure one of my FT-lurking friends would be, too, but I'm not available on the 26th.

no, sorry.

I'm heading to the restaurants today to make sure their hours will work for this. Please expect a post later this evening.
