Well as you know Stosh is on vacation here in Nor Cal, a few months ago he was kind enough to convert some floor plans I hand drew of my Tahoe cabin into a real floor plan and also made it a PDF file so I could have a new heating system designed for the place. In return I told him when they were here in the Bay Area I would take him & his GF to dinner. Well I got to meet both of them last night, I must say Stosh is a very nice guy and his GF is a total sweetheart. We went to P.F. Changs for dinner and had a few beers/wine ate some good food and had great conversation. Its finally nice to put a face to all that teasing over the years Definatly had a great time meeting them both!!!!!!!!

I met Stosh and Aubrey earlier this summer - Stosh is a cool guy and yep Aubrey is a total sweetheart - spot on description Brian.

Let me get this straight. You live in the Bay Area and went to P.F. Chang's for dinner?!?

-S.S.-

 

[I Are Baboon]

We went to P.F. Changs for dinner

Hey I ate at one of those when I was in Columbia, MD a couple months ago. Cool place, good food.

Stosh is probably thinking now "Man that Brian HCM is a total asshole."

 

[narlus]

PF Changs? stosh, you got short-changed. should have held out for the french laundry (although i think it's closed currently?)

 

[golgiaparatus]

Changs is good mang... the Kung Pow is badassitass

We just made some suggestions PF Changs was one of them, they happen to like that restaurant and wanted to go there so we went. My wife and I like that place anyways, plus they have Kirin Ichiban on tap

He probably is

 

[JRB]

We got's PF Changs in Austin. Pretty decent.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Yeah - it's decent Chinese. But that's it. Decent. Brian lives in the Bay. There are KILLER Chinese places all around that Bay. No need to settle for "decent."

Oh, and for "decent Chinese", it's pretty fuggin' expensive. :mumble:

Mmmm..... French Laundry. Now you're talkin'

-S.S.-

 

[Rockland]

Ha, 'French Laundry' it's funny I actualy know what this place is. I live with a major foodie, and it's starting to rub off. Strange..
Mini-hijack side note: Couple weeks back I got to eat at Babbo in NYC. Holy-sh!t

Mmmmm..... I :heart: good Italian food.......

-S.S.-

 

[narlus]

there are no good italian restaurants in dublin. i will definitely chow down on some good italian when i get home.

we did splurge (most by far i've ever spent on a meal) and hit a 2 star restaurant last week; did the tasting menu. yum.

sorry for the thread hijack

Yes I know there are better Chinese resturants around the Bay, however the atmosphere is great at this one and its a cool place to hang out.

Yeah - come to think of it, none of the Chinese places we went to when I lived out there briefly would be considered a "cool place to hang out".........

The German place in Milpitas, OTOH......... sure the crowd was old, but the food was good and the oompah band was *rockin*!

-S.S.-

 

[Brian HCM#1]

There is an OK German place in downtown San Jose, Teskies, great place to party though

This place was Dem Zumhaus or Dem Gasthaus or something......... my wife had a filet with gorgonzola cream sauce on it.... <schaaaaaaa-friggin-WING>

We've tried to duplicate, but haven't gotten there yet.

Tim - where do you recommend in the North End of Boston for some fine Italian without breaking the bank?

Sorry again for another hi-jack. :devil:

 

[Echo]

Why does everyone who meets stosh think he's this cool guy? He's a jerk.









:devil:

Funny.........he said the same about you

 

[SkaredShtles]

Ooooh yeah. Of course, I had the ubiquitous German meat plate, so I only got a taste....... :mumble:

But now you know

 

[SkaredShtles]

But now you know

Yeah - and I found out from the internet that the place closed down. :mumble:

That sucks.

 

[MtnBikerChk]

I still say he doesn't exist and this is just a big joke.

 

[CrazyGambit]

Brian Brian don't defend it you took one of your internet buds out for a free meal. What more can stosh ask for? you expected to drop 2 bills on a fine 4 star resterant?

 

[CrazyGambit]

I still say he doesn't exist and this is just a big joke.

lol thats funny. maybe stosh and brian are the same person. he just took himself out to dinner.

 

[KPicha]

I still say he doesn't exist and this is just a big joke.

Nope, he's for real I even met him this year. Very nice guy and I'm always surprised at how much people make fun of him here.

Oh we's just playin'

 

[Skookum]

Did he bring his Jawa's to San Fran too or did he get a sitter....

 

[Brian HCM#1]

Stosh just leaves himself open for shots, its all in good fun.

 

[splat]

Tim - where do you recommend in the North End of Boston for some fine Italian without breaking the bank?

Any place!!!

I love going into the North end in the summer for dinner.

I like to find the small hole in the wall type place, that has may 6 , 7 tables. and I try not to go to the same place twice. Yum Yum !!

 

[bella]

For good esp cheap food in the north end you can never go wrong with umbertos. Only open for lunch though. But man is it good. And you can still afford dessert afterwards at modern pastry

 

[bella]

or if you like food theres one with a green lil overhand thingy on the main st. through the north end 8 tables max a lil more expensive but again worth the wait and the money. if i wasnt so bad with names it would prolly help...

 

[narlus]

is that Sage? have heard good things about that place. Terramia was ok but horribly over-priced. Pomodoro has great food but you get what you pay for. looking at giacomo's is an option too.

for my $, i'd rather eat in the south end.

 

[splat]

Then is always the original Pizzaria Regina that is allways good for the pre-Bruins game meal.
