Thank-you for the great post markk.

China Gourmet--have been there but I like China 46 better. Also China 46 is BYO. For regular Chinese take-out I go to the little place near Kings on South Livingston Ave in Livingston.

Lou-- Your regulars can come and when they meet us they will want to join eGullet. More NJ posters would be great.

http://www.anamericangrill.com/ An American Grill Chef/owner Lou Reda We are having a wine dinner there April 21. All are welcome. Please join us. And markk--which restaurant do yo go to that waives the corkage fee?

Well in that case bring the Cloudy Bay also. I got mixed up between the Chalk and the Cloud!! Lou--Don't forget the polenta fries that should be on the table as we sit!!!

What night do you go out to eat and why? We usually go out on Sat. and Sun. nights unless Valentine's Day falls on a Sat and then we stay home. We will go out once or twice during the week to check out a restaurant. If we have gone out 4 times during the week I will cook on Sunday. Do you drink more weeknights or weekends? At home we have 1-2 glasses of wine before dinner. When we go out we have a bottle of wine. Do you prefer to dine as a couple or with others? Both. Doesn't matter. Is anymore more apt to dine at a restaurant with a liquor license if they waive the corking charge? I prefer BYO but will go to a restaurant with a liquor license. I have never brought a bottle to a restaurant that has a liquor license. How far will you drive to a restaurant on a weeknight? Try to stay close to home if possible during the week but have driven an hour. Weekend? We have driven 1 1/2 hours. How about you Lou? As a restaurant owner how would you answer your questions?

We have 8 for real and 9 for maybe for real. It's early. We have plenty of time. SO--IF YOU ARE INTERESTED PLEASE LET US KNOW.

Flowers for the ladies???? Do tell. What kind of flower? What do the men get? Don't tell me a lady with a flower!

Never tasted the white Turley. I'm also bringing a stretcher so that you can carry me out to the car.

BRING ALL THE TURLEY'S YOU HAVE.

Didn't Lou bring Cloudy to the sushi luncheon? If so--I didn't like it.

Corkage fee $15.

Bring everything except the Cloudy Bay. No need to bring glasses. Fascino's are fine. How many sips can 12 people get from 1 Turley?

Wanted to add that the steak at Mignon in Rutherford was also excellent.

Reminder--Thursday Feb 26 at 6 PM. Bring good wine!!!

Don't know. Lou is in charge. It won't be unreasonable and the dinner includes wine.

Can't attest to pork and shellfish as Lou is doing the menu. I'll put you down as a maybe.

Susan--YOU HAVE TO READ "TABLE HOPPING WITH ROSIE" EVERY WEEK!!!! I'll e-mail the story to you.

OK--we believe you but what did you have there? Place is beautiful--huh?

A film will shot on February 24 from 5 to 8 PM at the Frog and the Peach, New Brunswick that will be shown on Continental Airlines during May or June as part of a "Best of" series. If you would like to be part of the action stop by the restaurant for a drink at the bar or for dinner that day and you might be captured on the film. For reservations call 732-846-3216.

It would be a long trip for you but Freeman's Fish Market in Maplewood has an outstanding reputation. Don't think they have any barrimundi tho! http://www.freemansfishmarket.com/

Actually Lou--and I am quoting YOU--"Are we all good for 6pm and are we all at $70 per including tax & Grat. " Not a problem if it is $75. Glenn will pay the difference.

Steakas---The prices seem VERY high to me. Were they that high just for Valentine's Day or is the same menu/prices served year round?
