[nightscotsman]

Yep - I'll see anyone who can make it at 11:30 (or thereabouts). Remember, we're meeting at the One World dining room for the Italian menu as opposed to the Square One bistro where we usually go.

Cool. You have money left over after City Kitchens?

I did some panhandling on the way home.

I just got notice that the last buffet of the quarter at Seattle Central is TODAY, June 13th (oooh, it's Friday the 13th)! Since it is the end of the quarter it's the Grand Buffet with more choices than usual. Service starts at 11:15 and it costs $7.35 plus tax.

The dining rooms will be open this summer starting Monday July 7th, but with a much changed schedule and offerings. On Mondays and Wednesdays they will have soup and "specialty sandwiches", and on Tuesdays and Thursdays they will offer an "international buffet".

[MsRamsey]

I'd like to get the Seattle Culinary Academy lunching thing back on track. I've asked them to email me the menus, and I will try to post them here every week.

[seawakim]

I really enjoyed the times we all met there for lunch and look forward to the next time.

I used to get their menus but they stopped coming. How do I get back on the list?

They still haven't sent me menus! Guess it's time to kick ass and take names! Actually, I'll call again tomorrow with a gentle reminder.

Ah, the stunning detail I've come to expect from the culinary school's administrative assistant. Happy dinning!

The Chef of the Day is a new 5th quarter student each day, with entirely different menus the students put together themselves, along with selection of tableware and decor, and coordinating the staff of fellow students in the front and back. They also tend to be mobbed with friends and family.

It's a pretty big production; my COD project isn't for another four quarters and I'm already worried about it.
