February Pho

I was looking forward to Tank Noodles so much. Instead, I ended up at a restaurant next doors (Tank Noodles were on a month long vacation):

I had been craving Pho for couple of months, so it didn't really matter how good the food was. Pho was a Pho. I really wouldn't go back there on a schedule, but also wouldn't cry if I did go back there again. I'm more of 'meh' on this one than anything else. Was my craving satisfied. Yeah. In the end, that's all that matters.

That and the company :)

The Birth of: Slurp Chirp Burp

I like eating. I like diversity. I like trying something new. And, apparently, I like creating groups. 


In an email conversation today, someone asked if I was interested in seeing a 9hour movie (no, not a comedy). I thought of all the things I really like doing (as a reaction to how much I didn't want to watch a 9 hour long movie - and no, it wasn't a Start Trek or Star Wars or Harry Potter marathon either). I started thinking of eating (slurping) and writing (couldn't find a word). Then I chatted the co-founder (GS) and vetoed couple of his suggestions (fine, all of them) and thus arrived at group name: Slurp Chirp Burp - A Monthly Lunch Group, Chicago.


1) Eat somewhere something [SLURP]
2) Discuss food and culture [CHIRP]
3) Write a blog entry on the group blog if you feel like it [BURP]


Open to all to join. 


The first one is at Tank Noodle restaurant, Uptown, Chicago.
I've been craving pho since December :)
