Well, something has come up and I won’t be able to make it tomorrow.(Insert sad smiley face here.) I was looking forward to meeting everyone but I guess it will have to be some other time. Y’all have fun.
Well, I work in North Dallas (Walnut Hill/Central area)and I don’t leave until 5…and rush hour Monday traffic the day before a holiday all the way to Grapevine…I doubt very much you guys would still be hanging out there by the time I would get there 
I’m totally bummed!
I want to make sure this point isn’t glossed over. To repeat, for anyone who hasn’t read “Ask the closeted Bisexual Guy!”, Mrs. Chef does NOT know I’m bisexual. So don’t anybody say anything that will make her even wonder. Please.
Mom and Dad came to town. They left yesterday and today was the first chance I got to even look at the board. Sorry guys! I really wanted to come too! I hope y’all had a great time. So has anyone posted an update?
UPDATES! We want UPDATES! 
Well, Irishman did such a good time at the last HouDope that we gave him the notes to type in. But he drove back to Houston today, so I guess he hasn’t had a chance to do anything yet.
BTW, there’s a lesson in there somewhere. <giggle>
Yeah, I think I learned it. 
Hey everyone, it’s not over, we’re just getting started! That’s right, we’re going to do it all over again NEXT FRIDAY (Jul 14).
So far it looks like 7ish at Olive Garden in Grapevine. Just next door to El Fenix.
So if you missed out and wanted to try again, now’s your chance!
I’m sorry I’m missing it again. I’ll be in Houston at that time. Have a great time everyone.
Uh, guys…I don’t know if anyone is ready to see just how much food I can consume at the Olive Garden…it’s not pretty…
But I will try to be there anyway
(PS: whats up with the burbs? Doesn’t anyone live in the big city?)
What’s up with the burbs is that everyone is scattered across the area, so we need something that is an attempt at central.
Plus Grapevine restaurants are easy to find - along the interstate.
What Irishman said; plus, I’ve been the person to keep the last two on track - which means I get to pick where we have it 
Honestly, we have local Dopers in Dallas and Fort Worth and several that live in or near Grapevine. Then there’s the fact that they are breeding restaurants there in Grapevine, which gives us a lot of choices.
And don’t worry about how much you eat, I’ll meet you breadstick for breadstick. Mmmmm, breadsticks
I hope you can make it - we had a lot of fun at the last one.
Yes, that’s this Friday. As explained here Irishman will be back in town so we want to make another go round.
We decided Olive Garden in Grapevine (see the map in the link above, it’s in the same parking lot) at sevenish. I checked with Olive Garden and they do not take reservations, but I will call them before I leave work to get an idea of the wait and to put our name on the list. I will need a head count, so everyone check in! The last one was a blast, don’t miss this one.
Thanks
