Thanks, Willie. That was mighty fine of you.

Might I suggest that we possibly, maybe use our certificates at an eGullet sponsored dinner, if that is forseeable and possible according to the rules.

If we all went together, would we be considered a "Private Party," or would something like that involve calling them and saying something like, "Hello. I wold like to arrange a private party. It's worth a little looking into if anyone is game.

Guajolote, Ronnie, and Willie - before I sign up for this, which of the four restaurants did you guys choose? Please don't tell me Marche.

I signed up for Marche because I wanted to see the waiter who wore a thong :raz: .

In real life I picked Opera. I've been wanting to go since January, especially to have that hell-fire hot dish.

It isn't that hot!

And I'm up for another foray to Opera. Not just for the food; it's there I first met the other two thirds of the Travelling Riot, so it's Special.

I chose Red Light, but I have friends who could still choose another one...:cool:

yea, me wonders if rules with using more than 1 offer/coupon/discount would apply, as more often than not, they would.

Yep. Opera's fine by me. I do purely want to see Gentle G tangle with that kung pao beef.

:biggrin:

Me, I vote for the joyride every time.

I'm going to pick Opera.

I love Opera. That kung pao beef is the shit.

Noise is music. All else is food.

We're going to Opera also. What is the program there? Price range etc? The link on the website doesn't exist. Thanks to all.

Any thoughts?

Chef Jackie Shen has taken over the reigns at Red Light restaurant.

I had dined twice before Shen took over, loved it.

Have not been back, but friends that have said outstanding. I know that is where I'm going to use my cert.

Free $25 gift certificate for Marché, Red Light, Gioco or Opera just for filling out application.

Thanks for the discount information! I really like Marche, the food is good, not always terrribly exotic but tasty. The restaurant is a work of art. I try to go there every time I am in Chicago. My co-workers are there right now I wish I had seen this discount earlier.

So, has anyone used their certificates yet? We've not, and time's running out. I know we all got so excited about this. :wacko: Just wondering how it was.

I don't know about you, but my Opera certificate says it's good until October 31 2004. I'm still excited, but so far haven't been able to convince anyone to go with me.

Received this email from Red Light:

Kacher Wine Dinner at Red Light Restaurant 820 W. Randolph St. 312 733 8880 Monday, March 15th, 2004 6:30 p.m. greeting, 7pm dinner $75 plus tax and gratuity

"Robert Kacher is the hottest importer in the United States for the simple reason that he continues to beat his competition on the playing field-the vineyards and cellars of France. No one spends more time in winemaker’s caves arguing for lower yields or less fining and filtration. Kacher has put together a portfolio of producers in Burgundy and the Rhone Valley who will become, I predict, the superstars of the nineties. His name on a bottle of wine is as close to an endorsement of quality as one is likely to find in the complicated world of wine." Robert M. Parker, Jr.

Please join us for a remarkable food and wine experience with America’s foremost wine importer. This night promises to be a rare dining opportunity as Chefs Paul Wildermuth and Jackie Shen create a beautiful tasting menu to be matched with Bobby’s wines. Bobby will be present to discuss the food and wine pairings as well as to address any other wine questions you may have. We will be working in conjunction with Sam’s Wine and Spirits to offer our guest special pricing on the wines being served that night.

This dinner will sell out very quickly. Please call Red Light for your reservations today. Again, the phone number at Red Light is 312 733 8880.
