Dr. Love Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I like shell fish, but no biggie. Let's let Gil decide, he knows the area. Time??? 5pm? 6pm? I'm open. What's your schedule like? Gil that question is for you also. Youse guys decide, no diff to me. I'd prefer 5:30 at the very earliest, with 6:00 or 6:30 being better. It's my first visit to the Dow site in Buffalo Grove since I've taken my new job, so I don't really want to be seen high-tailing it out of there at 5:00 on the button. As to location, I'm completely open. I'm willing to drive, as I'm going to need to start learning the area anyways. What type of venue are we looking for? If we wanted a relatively nice restaurant, I went to The Cheesecake Factory in Lincolnshire last month and was absolutely blown away with how good the food is. I'm not as familiar with more laid-back bar type settings in that area. I'm completely open, though. I guess this one is up to Gil... what's your suggestion?

Dr. Love Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Just adding a quick note here: I looked at the menu for the crab house that rockn recommended, and they seem to serve cow, which is all I needed to see. I'm game for that place, if that's what you guys want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknrobn26 Posted October 6, 2006 Author Share Posted October 6, 2006 Bumpers for Gil............. I'm wide open! Time wise, and place wise. I'm tossing the ball to Gil! Gil, It's your call! Whatever, is fine w/ me! Plus we have to show this Detroit immigrant the error of his ways and make him a Bear Fan! Gil.....you got the ball!

gilthorp Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Here's my thoughts on this: If the Doc is cool with being 30+ minutes away from where he'll be laying his head down for the evening, Schaumburg is cool. If he wants to be closer, I just say we head to a local watering hole, closer to his hotel. I'm good either way right now. I can't say I'm 100% yet, but I'm at 95% as of this evening. As far as dinner, Shaw's is pretty pricey, as I usually just hit the raw bar when I'm there. If you're leaving it totally up to me, let me sit on it a while.

gilthorp Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 (edited) I'm coming 2 hours, tell Doc to stop whinin' Lions fans... Well, if we hit it at Half Day Road, your trip will be shorter. Just for you, I recommend we debate going to this place. Flatlanders Edited October 7, 2006 by gilthorp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 (edited) That sounds like it would shave a good 1/2 hr off my drive time, which I would appreciate. Plus, a brewpub would be cool, because I like beer. But whatever is fine with me. Edited October 7, 2006 by Chavez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm willing to drive, though, if we decide to do the crab shack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
