An Englishman in NJ

[Rachel Perlow]

We're bringing eGullet's UK Affiliate, Andy Lynes, to China 46 tonight.

If you would like to join us, please let us know here. We don't need reservations and you can also just show up, but to avoid having to change tables if extra people show up, it would be helpful to RSVP.

Right now we're planning on 7 PM. But if it would be easier for some (tommy) we could go a little later.

I promise not to order anything weird.

If there is interest, among any of the Manhattanites, in sampling New Jersey's finest Shanghainese fare (and perhaps the best in the NY Metro area), I might be willing to provide transportation in the Fatmobile. I would need to hear back via PM by around 3-4pm in order to make that decision.

I promise not to order anything weird.

I disappointed to hear that here. One would expect such a food obsessed group to have adventurous tastes, particularly when it's served family style so one may sample just a bite without the personal embarrassment of leaving it over. Order some weird stuff for our visitor.

Easy for me to say, I can't make it.

So I take it the Korean food idea was ruled out, eh? Too bad.

I'll never turn down a C46 visit though.

Duck tongues? Oh, those poor little ducks.

Lauren and I will be there.

I ordered some extra weird stuff last outing to China 46 and not all of it was appreciated.

We're off to go pick up Andy.

and a lot of ducks too. i ordered these and there's a huge plate of tongues. that must have been a lot of ducks. very tasty, but the cartilage in the middle is surprising if you're not expecting it. the meat has to be stripped off with your teeth.

Newsflash from the Perlow/Lynes party.

Stuck in traffic. They request that people show up at 7:30pm now instead of 7:00pm.

Apparently no formal reservation was made, since we've no idea how many are coming, but the first of us in should tip off Cecil, the manager, to this--not that this is likely to be a big problem on a Thursday. But that way, he can at least try and keep us all on the same side of the room.

I'm stuck at work for another hour, so I'm out. A big welcome to Andy and hi to everyone else.

[Rachel Perlow]

OK, we're home. We'll leave in a couple minutes. Looks like we need a table for 6.

[Rachel Perlow]

Sunday is Andy's last day in the states. We are planning on having Brunch at Cinco De Mayo in Bergenfield tomorrow. Really great Huevos Rancheros and Chilequiles. If you are interested in joining us, please post an RSVP here so we know how big a table to get. I'm thinking around 10:30 - 11 AM, since we're having a late dinner in NYC tonight.

Later on we're going to Robertos Restaurant in the Bronx for an early dinner (around 4 PM, when the restaurant opens, they don't take reservations, so you gotta get there when they open to not have to wait). If you'd like to come to that, please RSVP on the NY thread.

[Rosie]

Going to the food show tomorrow AM.

[Rachel Perlow]

If anyone's joining us we'll be there around 11.

my damn computer is too slow to allow it....I assume there's no forum devoted to possible get togethers. Maybe there should be...for my sake

[Rosie]

All NJ eGullet get togethers are posted on the NJ board. You may need to go back a few pages to keep up to date.

It's BECAUSE my computer's so slow that I'm here all day. On a faster computer, I'm off faster.
