I think we're over due for a CASK get together.

Anyone up for BBQ?

Post subject:  Re: CASK Get together
my first post in many months — this seems like a great way to re-break the ice. bbq sounds like a great idea. at a restaurant, or are you opening up your new home to us?

Post subject:  Re: CASK Get together
uhhhhh... a restaurant for now.

We are still living among too many boxes for a proper get together, but will definitely host something in the warmer months.

Open to suggestion on which BBQ joint.
I look forward to the BBQ arguments...

smoque, smoke daddy, fat willys?

smoque is such a pain in the ass for everyone. But I don't really have a suggestion either. :| I'm down for anything yummy.

Post subject:  Re: CASK Get together
smoke daddy is my current fav

Smoque is walking distance from my place

But I am up for good BBQ wherever

i love all kinds of bbq, but i haven't been able to make it out to any of those suggested places. i remember kirby giving pork shoppe a thumbs up, although i'm not sure if it's strictly bbq. i'm up for any of those places as long as they're reachable by cta.

is there possibly any interest in... korean bbq? (rolls eyes at self) :lol:

^ Don't worry about transportation Bill, I can either pick you up from your place, from Roto, or from whatever cta station is near by. ;)

And yes! I'm up for a CASK get together. I'm also up for any BBQ place as long as they have non-spicy food options. But most places do, so we should be good.

i hate you SO much right now. and D is a vegetarian?! how does that become fair!?

smoque is damn fine... damn fine, indeed.
fat willy's used to be great, but lately it's been sort of "meh."
pork shoppe? noppe.

then there's:
risque cafe near wrigleyville
lilly's que in bucktown-ish
bellyq near ashland/lake green line stop
smokin' woody's near lincoln square
honkytonk in pilsen (not cta friendly)
and
rub bbq co near western and touhy

kind of depends if we want a good space to sprawl out, as a lot of these places are pretty cramped.
i do love korean bbq, but also not very cta friendly... any of the ones i know, anyway.

i'll also throw out the southern (north/damen blue line area)... not necessarily bbq, but erhmehgurd...
the best damn fried chicken dinner i've had in a LONG time. cheese grits... garlic mashed potatoes...

Yes, I am posting for the first time in ages...my spidey sensed that BBQ was being mentioned. Smoque always gets my vote. It is also right off the Irving Park Blue Line stop, so it's not too hard to get to.

Post subject:  Re: CASK Get together
^ wow, nice surprise!

sounds like smoque has the votes. now the hard part: when do we do this?!

Post subject:  Re: CASK Get together
how about the last week end of Jan, Fri 25th or Sat 26th?
Author:  damaged Bryan [ Sat Jan 05, 2013 10:01 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: CASK Get together
I vote 25th
Author:  SmilingIdiot [ Sun Jan 06, 2013 1:06 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: CASK Get together
Friday the 25th works for me too.
Author:  Ultra999 [ Sun Jan 06, 2013 1:37 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: CASK Get together
sounds great. is this a +1 kind of thing?

how about 7 pm? enough time for everyone to get home and don your fanciest bbq outfits?

kirby? jr? bueller?

Post subject:  Re: CASK Get together
There is literally nothing on the menu at Smoque for my wife to eat, so she'll be sitting this one out LOL
Author:  magillagorilla [ Sun Jan 06, 2013 2:29 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: CASK Get together
7 works for me as well. +1 is fine too. Smoque is definitely not vegetarian friendly unless you only eat peach cobbler mac and cheese and french fries

i'm in, fo' shizzle!

I don't trust that anything on that menu (even the salad) is really vegetarian. :lol:

Me and JR are in. My wife is out, the air alone would probably make her sick. Jamie may come?

I'm in... Don't know about Brian yet... He's more of a "How he feels like that day" type of a person. Lol

is this still on? also, any takers on doing a white elephant type thing, limit <= $10? crappier the better.

fun fact:

The term derives from the story that the kings of Siam (now Thailand) were accustomed to make a present of one of these animals to courtiers who had rendered themselves obnoxious, in order to ruin the recipient by the cost of its maintenance.
i had no idea. talk about passive-aggressive.

Post subject:  Re: CASK Get together
I'm in.

the white elephant idea sounds good too.

There's a pub nearby (Independence Tap) where we can get some drinks later. I haven't been but I have heard its a low key establishment with a good beer selection

Post subject:  Re: CASK Get together
I can bring something to trade. And beers afterwards sounds awesome. Or water for our none drinking friends. Or whatever.

Post subject:  Re: CASK Get together
crappy gift?! you bet!! so... are we talking toys, or a traditional white elephant-type thing?
