Chicago - FT'er Cuban dinner get together

Seeing as a FT'er is coming into town on Wednesday, June 18th I propose another Cuban restuarant get together on that date.

Restaurant TBD later.

I'm noticing a trend here - all of Sweet Willie's community events are around meals

Perhaps because Sweet Willie is acknowledged as having superb taste in restaurants. I wish *I* lived in Chicago, and could get in on such great feasts as Korean and Cuban and whatever he has up his sleeve next.

proud to say after 4 (maybe 5,6 who knows? you lose count) margaritas, I had no food anywhere except in my stomach at the last FT'er eat get together. Good thing as the Mayor showed up.

I'm trying to plan my next jaunt to Chicago to coincide with one of Sweet Willie's DOs. The restaurants sound fabulous, besides getting the chance to meet a couple of FTrs in the flesh!

Unfortunately, I've had conflicts with the recent get-togethers but I will keep watching for my chance.

This sounds like fun but I am out of town May 1 so I won't be able to make this one.

I meant my comment about Sweet Willie's get-together's revolving around food in the best possible way hence my above. Heck, I met him & Judi at dinner in London in Feb. If I still lived in Chicago I'd be at all of these get-togethers. And once I book an upcoming trip, maybe I'll get him to plan another one. Have fun everyone. Cheers.

Food was very good to great IMO, I'll write up a report soon.

Good to see you guys there.

Sorry for the eat and run, but I ended up helping the sub until almost midnight, UGHHHH! Not easy after a mojito, cerveza and some good Cuban food

See you'all on the 15th.

Once again, good food and good company. A guy could get used to this. It's a good thing because we are meeting again in 2 weeks. YEAH!
