DanielK Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 REMINDER: Though we always ask everyone to bring cash for $20 Tuesday events, it is absolutely critical that you do so here, because they DO NOT TAKE PLASTIC, and there is not an ATM in that shopping center!

Scott Johnston Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 A&J Tonight! Looks like we will have a table for 12 (always room for more if you want to join us). I will reserve a table under my name (Scott). I think we can order off the menu as people arrive and serve food family style. Please call my cell or PM if you need directions, have a change in plans, want to buy dinner for me, etc. etc. I should be at A&J by 7:15 pm. Please remember to bring cash!

Escoffier Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Pick a date, and I recommend coordinating with Grover so someone can help us order well!Well, speaking for Grover (as I do sometimes), we're always interested in going to Gamasot whether it's a Tuesday or a Friday. Set a date and we'll happily show up and help you explore the menu. There is a lot of really good food on that menu. (By the way, the sausage panchan was Soon-dae which is a favorite).

Escoffier Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I don't know the name of red spicy one, what the item in the cup is Mul kimchi (water kimchi) and Muk is the jello like substance with soy dressing.and the one that looks like dark or black sausage is Soon-dae, one of my personal favorites. You eat it by lightly dabbing it in the salt/red pepper that is placed on the table... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do we reach consensus? Do we make arrangements with the restaurant in advance? What? There isn't an official process. I'm nominating you as the coordinator for this one , so you just pick a date. Since there doesn't seem to be a strong preference for either day, just pick your preferred date. All you have to do after that is coordinate with the restaurant for a reservation. And since this is Korean food, if the group gets real large and we need to set a menu, then you PM Grover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilaine Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I went to Gamasot for lunch Friday, and had the something yang seul leung tang (spelling approximate). Was served a plethora of little dishes which I could not identify as well as the soup, which was tasty. I don't think the white color was from milk, just bones. Since I gave up milk, appreciated the calcium. It stayed very hot forever, and I was almost late coming back from lunch. The place is very clean, which I like, and the staff polite and attentive, ditto. As I understand it, Grover will contact the establishment and make reservations? So we need a head count? And I would like to request that we don't get the short little tables that require sitting on the floor. My knees won't make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escoffier Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Was served a plethora of little dishes which I could not identify as well as the soup, which was tasty.Welcome to the wonderful world of panchan (or banchan if you prefer). Always kimchi and radish, sometimes cucumber, sometimes zucchini and 4 pieces of Soondae which is one of my favorite Korean foods. There are restaurants in Korea that specialize in Soondae only. Panchan is always served with Korean food.I don't think the white color was from milk, just bones. Since I gave up milk, appreciated the calcium. It stayed very hot forever, and I was almost late coming back from lunch.That's correct, there is no milk in Seul Long Tang, the color is strictly from beef bone. The bowl does a wonderful job of keeping the soup hot. I hope you added the rice which comes with it. That way you can eat the rice while you wait for the soup to cool. The place is very clean, which I like, and the staff polite and attentive, ditto.They've dealt with me a lot and they're still attentive and polite...(they have a fairly large American clientele so they're used to our strange ways). As I understand it, Grover will contact the establishment and make reservations? So we need a head count? And I would like to request that we don't get the short little tables that require sitting on the floor. My knees won't make it.Unfortunately, I will be in Ottawa but Grover should be available and happy to make the arrangements. You won't get the normal Korean tables, they put the tables along the side together for large groups (unless you're Korean). Don't worry, you'll be in a chair and eating from a "normal" type table.

TheMatt Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I hope you don't mind the question, but I'm a first-time $20 Tuesday/Wednesday person (and a fair newbie to the board), and so I was wondering how exactly these dinners works. Do people just try to stay under $20? Do you just bring $20? Is it just a title? Sorry to ask what is probably a FAQ, but 26 pages is a bit of a slog to read through. Plus, I've been bitten before at group dinners since I'm a guy who drinks water or tea at meals, but have often had to subsidize people who enjoy cocktails and wine when it's time to split the check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Johnston Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Generally a $20 dollar event means that the cost of the food is less than $20 dollars before tax, drinks and gratuity. If the cost will be more than $20, the organizer will let people know. Generally the food is separate from the drinks and everyone is good about splitting the food evenly (we generally eat family style) and then paying for drinks separately. Lots of people drink water and tea. No subsidizes here. Plesae bring cash, makes everything easiler, and is often mandated by the resturant. Looking forward to meeting you at Gammasot, where the dinner will be less than $20 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
