Hi Folks,

Thanks to Phoodee for kicking my butt regarding this.

As the Harbour diner is now out of business, I would like to nominate
Karolina's at Barton St. East as the location of the first
Chowmeet...my review is at the link below

http://www.chowhound.com/topics/345329

As far as dates go, I am pretty durned open clear until March...and
Alice at the restaurant will be pretty open date wise after the
Orthodox Christmas is over.

Opinions? Ideas?

Hi Mike,
 
I saw the post about Karolina's a couple of weeks ago, and I'm still trying to get the drool out of my keyboard.
 
How about Thursday the 17th?
 
Cheers,
Gourmando (aka Ross Macfarlane)

The 17th is good for me, let's hope some other folks (foodiemommy,
redshifted, etc.) join in with their $0.02.

Hi,
I have a tentative day trip for business to Montreal that day, but
have a feeling it will be postponed. I'll check and get back to you
by tomorrow. Hope I can go on the 17th!

Okay, just confirmed that the 17th Jan. is okay - not going away until
week after.

Karolina's sounds great. What time? Early-ish, since it's a "work
night"? 6-6:30?

That works for me.  I'm going to try to get my brother (another 'Hound) to come too.

Let me know by Monday and I'll make a booking - we don't get the
dinner deal unless we have more than 4 folks. I'm trying to convince
my roommate to join us!

I'm just confirming that my husband and I will be there Thurs. Pls
post the time, and we'll see you then.

I'll be there too.  Mrs. Gourmando will probably be home with the kids, but my brother can probably come.
 
Cheers!

Okay as Ross and FoodieMommy each are bringing a guest and I should
have a guest, I made reservations for 6pm on Thursday the 17th. I've
also taken the liberty to request the set dinner (or the "buffet" as
Alice calls it), so expect it to cost around $18.00 a person plus
taxes and whatever you want to drink beyond coffee tea and
water...they are licensed but the wine list is...ummm...limited...

Reservations are under my name (if the sign on the door says "Closed",
it perpetually says that). Karolinas is at 757 Barton St. E. between
Barnesdale and Lottridge on the north side. It's a little brown brick
building and there is no sign, but the window is painted.

Thanks for organizing this, Mike!  Looking forward to it.  I may be able to bring one or two more, and I'll let you know.
