Okay, let's get this thing rolling again. I'd like to start up the monthly meals, especially the ethnic ones we used to do.  

 

I talked to Nan at ImJai and they're interested in doing a meal for us that would be mostly specials they have for Thai customers. All the specials I've tried have been very good.  They have a lot of dishes you rarely see elsewhere that are either off-menu things you have to be offered or are part of a rotating specials menu they have.

 

I'm thinking max 20 people, family style, about 2 dishes per person with plenty of leftovers, enough for another meal or two, for about $20 to $25 per head before tip or beverage. (So that we can try more things.)  Probably 7 to 10 different dishes.

 

Who's in?

[Angelhair]

In! Two of us. Looking forward to it!

[pwillen1]

that date doesn't work for me but I'm interested in future events.

[craig]

In! One.

What PWillen1 said - not on that date, but in future. 

[loofahgirl]

I'm interested.

[pwillen1]

I'm now in for one. Looking forward to it.

So do we have 7?  I would be nice to get more than 10 if we can to expand it out to more dishes.  I can send out a mass email to PFG or post on Facebook.

[pwillen1]

I'm sure you'll get plenty on Facebook. not sure the quality though.

[Dimsumdiva]

Bob & I are in...

[edymon]

Count me in.

I'm going to talk to her on Monday.  I'll try to give a good variety of mild to spicy dishes and style of dishes.  Current list is:

Angelhair + 1

Craig

VJ

Tammi + 1

Dimsumdiva + 1

Pwillen

Loofahgirl

Edymon

 

I count 12.  That look right?

[ExtraMSG]

Went in and set up the meal last night.  We have 8 dishes, all off the specials menu.  Should be a good mix of dishes and many of them will be things you've never had before. I've personally only tried about half of them. 

[pwillen1]

8 dishes for 12 people? are they doing multiple plates of the same dish?

[ExtraMSG]

It will be served family style.  I have two orders of each dish, so 16 plates for 12 people.  If we need more, we can order more, but I suspect it will be enough.

Sorry, I didn't see this. I'm out. I have a stomach thing and you don't want this.

PortlandFood.org is back in action?! Tammi just told me about this. I would love to come if I can. Is there room for one or two more? I'm not sure if John can come, but I'd sure love to.
