Well we only hit 3 out of the 4 restaurants as one was closed, so not too shabby. For the record we enjoyed:

Cafe Hoang www.cafehoang.com
Goi Ga chicken salad
chicken & ginger cooked in clay pot*

*if you enjoyed this dish, I highly suggest you get yourself to Tank Noodle www.tank-noodle.com & try their catfish cooked in a clay pot as Tank Noodle's preparation actually allows more caramelization to occur creating a very different clay pot preparation.

Pho 777 http://chicago.menupages.com/restaurants/pho-777/menu
beef salad (Bo Tai Chanh)
pho (Tai Nam Gan w/eye of round steak, well done flanks, soft tendon)

Ba Le Sandwich www.balesandwich.com
various banh mi sandwiches

(I'll get big bonus points from Mrs Sweet Willie when she enjoys her sandwich I brought home).^

Thanks to all who came out, lots of fun:-:

Thanks, Sweet Willie, for putting the evening's itinerary together and being the food guide! Great food & wonderful company - all in all a fabulous time.

Had a very, very good time: it was good seeing old friends and meeting so many new ones. A special thanks to SW for organizing.

BTW, the next time I am at Tank, I know what I am ordering:

As I recall, my first time on Argyle since moving here in 1994. Excellent Vietnamese food, especially the salads I thought.

Nice to see everyone.

Adding my thanks to Willy for organizing the fun night out.

Some excellent food and an area of the city I will be certain to return to on my regular trips to Chicago.

Good to see everyone again...as well as meet some new folks.

See you on a future DO.

good to meet new people last night sorry i couldnt stay Looking forward to next opportunity

I'm in, let's talk on a date.

Thanks again Willie. It was a nice crowd, especially the bicyclists.

I'm in on the "Tank" event mentioned above.

Thanks, Willie, for another lovely DO done.

I didn't have the room in my stomach for the sandwiches last night, so I brought them home. They were surprisingly still crunchy after I put them in the toaster oven - I was worried that they would have been soft and saggy after being in the fridge for a night.

Thanks Sweet Willie for organizing this event, all new type of food for me.
The sweet iced coffee was really good!

Again, another awesome DO put together by Sweet Willie - great food, great times!
