Closer to the date, Willie, perhaps we should give the restaurant a heads up about the group and do some advance ordering? I've read that they can be overwhelmed by a group. You've probably thought of this already, but just thought I'd mention it.

Frontier is having one of their $49 fare sales so what the hell, I'll be here. I've never had Sengalese food either.

Sorry for any delay, France was a very good trip but back to reality.
I've updated the attendee list in post #1. Thanks to all interested.
very good, we used to have some MKE Do's every now & then but it has been awhile, hope you can make it and we can discuss MKE. I was going to say you'll win the "I've traveled the farthest for this Do" award but CMK10 has you beat there
wow, awesome, glad you can make it.
Thanks for the reminder, I didn't expect the group to grow this large for Senegalese food but hey great, that generally means more dishes to share.
I'll manage the restaurant's expectations, perhaps even discuss a family style meal so that we all get to try a number of items.
I'll also cap the attendee list at 14, so if you have expressed that you are attending and can not, please let the thread know so that I can open up the "registration" again. Thanks.

FYI, Badou is a BYOB restaurant (bring your own booze), so bring 'em if drinking.
Also due to our group size & small kitchen space. I'll coordinate a family style meal of 5-6 dishes for all the table to share. We will overwhelm the kitchen if we all try to order individually.

Sounds great! Looks like it's about a 75 minute CTA and Bus trip from ORD, I'm sure I can find somewhere nearby to pick up drinks, would people prefer beer or wine? I'm the sharing type.
