Possible Chicago DO? Lunch? Dinner? March 18th-21st

Last Chicago I went to was nice. I was thinking of having another one sometime during March 18th to 21st.
I was either thinking Lunch like last time or some sort of dinner, depending on who would want what and when could they make it.

Included spots are also in the Chicagoland area. If someone was to fly in, I would be glad to pick you up and drive you.

Spots include
Mongolian BBQ - Naperville IL
Melting Pot - Downtown
Fogo de Chao - Downtown
Benihana - Downtown or Oak Brook
Gino's East (pizza) -
Angelica's Restaurant (Polish food, but I'm coming back from Poland, so...) - Downtownish
Billy Goat Tavern - few places in the downtown
Portillo's (though, more of a faster food) - many places
China town - China town

A lot of these places have lunch specials. For instance Mongolian has a lunch special I believe $12 or so, so does Benihana and Fogo de Chao lunch is all yu can eat $25.

Let me now who would be in for what days, times, and what restaurants. Don't know each person's budget is

I'm not sure yet if I'll be in town then, but if so, I'd be interested in a lunch or dinner.

Dinner on the 18th could be a possibility - I won't be on the road. 19th is a no-go - wife's b-day.

I will be around Mar 18 and 19. If it is in the city, I can probably make it. I get confused and disoriented in the burbs.

I might make a suggestion, if people are willing to do Thai. My favorite Thai restaurant is Thai Village, 2053 W Division St. The food is yummy, yummy, yummy and it is BYOB, which saves drunks like me a ton of money in Chicago! 4 of us always order 4-5 dishes to share, some spicy, some not. And we bring our own beer and wine. Always a great evening, you will get out of here for less than $15 per person - remember BYO! Street parking is OK on a Tuesday night. This would be a great place for a FT dinner sometime. You can watch the look on the faces of the staff when my wife speaks Thai to them. I'll drag her along if ILuvParis and g_leyser will be there ... she likes them for some reason.

Whatever you decide, let us know.
