On a recent Friday afternoon I visited Lex at his office, where we discussed the usual politics and developed a robust libertarian/conservative dinner strategy. Mrs. Lex soon joined us and we set off for the excellent Reza’s, where we met up with some blogging colleagues and a few interlopers. We ate, drank, discussed interesting things and had a good time. Here are some photos.
Thursday Night: Reconnaissance
(Table-Cam®) L to R: Newly conscripted ChicagoBoy MW; the lovely ChicagoGrrl, who possesses supernatural power to control waiters using only her left eye; ChicagoBoy RV, lost in sauteed-mushroom revery; our own Andy B; and ur-ChicagoBoy Nick H
Saturday Morning: The Boyz have scattered with the winds. A solitary eggplant in the alley is all that remains of last night’s celebrations.
Sorry I missed it.
The hubby and child were in Wisconsin. It would have been a lot less expensive than what I did – 4 casinos.
Does Reza’s still have the really aggressive waitstaff that, last time I was there, kept trying to take my kebab away when I was only halfway done?
Sandy,
We didn’t plan it as an event — it sort of grew. I’ll try to handle it better next time.
Chris,
The waiters knew to keep their fingers away from our end of the table.
Nice pics Jonathan. I like the top secret world domination plans.
That was the bugged eggplant. Everything has been recorded. I know all about the Evil Master Plan…
Chris,
The waitstaff was agressively pushing some French wine (swill) that they had “on special markdown”. I’ve never seen a wine clearance sale at a restaurant before! It was not chosen.
