Jacques Gastreaux Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Funny thing, I started drafting a thread on Ray's the Steak this morning and had to stop because I got busy with something else. Anyway, I understand from hearsay evidence that it is difficult to get a reservation at Ray's the Steaks. Some people seem to think that I have connections with the owner. Without admitting or denying the truth of any of these rumors, I'm willing to organize a dinner at Ray's the Steaks. Is anyone interested. The dinner would probably be during the middle of the week about three weeks out. At a past dinner, we had a prix fixe sort of affair that was quite nice with a couple of choices of steak. We could try to keep the wine to under $50/bottle. Even split on the check. Is anyone interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jparrott Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I've never had a reservation before 9:30. Does that count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Landrum Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Funny, no one has cleared this event with my newly-acquired media consultant/Director of Reservations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Michael: So, how come you didn't answer MY question, which has somehow materialized on a completely different RTS site? Seriously, which is better: A Sunday or A Tuesday? (Asks the person who got married on her birthday, thinking she was doing hubby a favor by only having to remember ONE date?) DH just said he wants TWO hours at 7:00!!!! He's either going to have to sign up himself, or be blocked from reading this. Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banco Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Got to this late... I've never been and would love to go. Count me in if you don't have too many carniverous friends (fiends?) already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Gastreaux Posted April 26, 2005 Author Share Posted April 26, 2005 I'm not in any hurry here. When I think there is enough interest, especially among those who have never been to Ray's before, I'll give Michael Landrum a call and see what we can come up with.

babka Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 never. never, ever. and I'm ready to visit paradise, darlin', depending on your definition of "middle of the week" "three weeks out" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Gastreaux Posted April 26, 2005 Author Share Posted April 26, 2005 I repeat: I can not discuss anything until it has been cleared by my Director of Media Relations/High Commisioner of Reservations. Please do not call me directly or I will be sold to the carnies to settle my debt to an outraged humanity. I will obtain the appropriate clearances before attempting any such conversation. Sheesh, bureaucracy is everywhere in this town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunnyJohn Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I will obtain the appropriate clearances before attempting any such conversation. Sheesh, bureaucracy is everywhere in this town.

DCJono Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I'm a newbie to the board and haven't made it out to Ray's yet. I'd love to join - would be fun to meet y'all (and of course try RTS)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
