Burger Club

[Suzanne F]

Time: 1:00pm. Who knows, we may end up meeting into dinner and beyond.

I'll call, since I did before, and had the unpleasant task of saying that we weren't coming after all when they called me to reconfirm (but the reservationist remained so PERKY! )

Birthday girl want cookies. Choc chip yes!!! Gingersnap, yes!!!

Happy Birthday to our founder, Elyse.

[Suzanne F]

Happy Birthday to our founder, Elyse.

No, no, that should be HAPPY BURGER to Elyse!! (and a belated HB to her mom).

F&P: no problem. It will be nice to have you back in the fold, I'm sure.

[elyse]

Thanks, schmoopies!

That is my cute quota for the year. Back to bitchiness.

forkAndPen, good to see you back.

HOPPY BIRFDAY, ELYSE!

Yeah, you're still cute.

Clock this post at about 12:15 and it makes sense.

I'm sad. I was thinking of having a Burger Joint burger today, but I'm afraid I'd be too full for Sapphire tonight.

Maybe I'll have one for Christmas.

Woah. 22222 views.

I'm about a minute late, but Elyse, I hope you had a happy birthday.

Elyse: I figure I was covered because I already wished you a happy birthday in advance, but Merry Christmas to all who are celebrating!

[elyse]

Thanks Rich, Bloviatrix, and Pan! Early, late, on time, it's all the same to me. Well wishes are always welcome.

[alacarte]

Happy Belated Burger Birthday! Hope it was great.

[elyse]

Thank you dear!

What is everyone thinking mad cow-wise?

[Suzanne F]

HWOE suggests that we might change the name to "Dangerous Dining Club," but I told him the Philadelphia crowd already have that patented.

If I were to worry about that, I'd die of starvation. I'm still in.

[MHesse]

Mad Cow hysteria won't keep me away from Burger Club. Since my spouse has been scared by the media, I need BC to get my beef.

Same here... crazy parents, insisted on having crown roast of lamb for Xmas dinner instead of prime rib or beef tenderloin...

Was still pretty good though...

[elyse]

I'm really surprised there's so little opinion on this either way. Is it all on the Mad Cow thread?

[Pan]

The mad cow thread is worth looking at.

So far, I've avoided any beef for the - what, two days? - since the BSE was discovered in Washington state. I'll wait a while until the situation becomes clearer or I miss stuff like Shanghainese Beef Tendon in Hot Oil too much.

Yeah, I've read it. Posts under 10 paragraphs, that is....

I was wondering specifically about those of us doing the BC thang. I mean should we make our decisions of destination based on freshly chopped meat or anything? Avoid certain places entirely? Damn the torpedos?

[Pan]

Could you switch to lamburgers?

[elyse]

That's not even funny for a second.

[MHesse]

By the time I develop symptoms, I won't know whether it's natural, mad cow, or other remnants of my shady past. I say damn the torpedos, full steam ahead.
