Walrus Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 TheMatt, are you free on Sunday, August 3? If everyone's still up for it, it sounds like we can at least do HEOTB on Sunday, August 3 -- say 11:30 am? Dean, if we come up with a list, would you be willing to make the reservation again? So far, I see Walrus & Tripewriter Goodeats Scott Johnston TheMatt? LuvTeddyBears8 & Mush Man DanielK? Dean & Kay So maybe 10 people? Everyone's welcome to come! Good food! Low prices!

aaronsinger Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Just wanted to say I had a great time yesterday! Excellent dim sum, wish I could remember everything I had; my favorites were the bacon shrimp (you can never go wrong with that combo), snow pea dumplings, and the fried taro.

Once school starts, the kids and I have Hebrew school nearly every Sunday morning through May, so I can't make 11:30 dim sum trips, and you guys never want to go at 12:30!

Walrus Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Sorry -- we just won't be here! It's the annual lure coursing event out in Leesburg, and if we're not there by 8:30 am, we don't get to see the dogs run (though we don't even know if the Pharaohs will be there this year -- sigh!). And unfortunately, if we do a slot later than the 11:30 am slot, we seem to miss out on much of the food Maybe if Hebrew School is on holiday some Sunday we'll see you!

StorageLady Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I'm a bit confused...is the dim sum Sunday a regular thing or does it move around each week? Is it held every Sunday or only when enough people sign up? Thanks for filling me in!! We have exactly ZERO dim sum restaurants up here in Frederick....

Is it held every Sunday or only when enough people sign up?Thanks for filling me in!! We have exactly ZERO dim sum restaurants up here in Frederick.... It happens whenever someone proposes a date and place, and enough people say "yes" to make it a venture! It's no more than 25 minutes from the 70/270 split in Frederick to New Fortune in Gaithersburg. Name a date, and see if people sign on. I would be happy to go this Sunday at any hour, or any Sunday when people are willing to go at 12:30, as I have my kids in Hebrew School in Bethesda until noon.
