Mini BB party in MD
To anyone interested, Sherry and I are planning a gathering at Gunnings, a seafood (= CRABS) restaurant in Maryland near BWI airport. If you've never had their crabcakes, that's reason enough to come join us, they are the biggest and best in the world - Sherry and Murray and Corrine and Steve and Amy and Chris will all back me up on this!
 The bonus is that they have delicious PBR (that's Pabst Blue Ribbon for all you white collars  ) on tap. And wait until they try and stuff a dessert into your stuffed belly - SO TASTY!The tentative date is Saturday Dec 9 at 6 PM, send a PM to Sherry or me for more details. Bon apetit! http://www.gunningsonline.com/

Re: Mini BB party in MD
Sorry Kevin, but I'll be in Aruba! (If it makes you feel any better, I'm sure I'll be crying that night as it will be the last night of my trip.)
But, if you want to move the party to Aruba (how about dinner at Madame Janette?), I'd love to join you!

Re: Mini BB party in MD
me too. murray and willie need more bonding time, lol.
this should be a fun evening but if you aren't within 100 miles or so it could be a bit much just for an evening. however, the meal is really great. the place is relaxed. jeans are appropriate. designated drivers are appropriate. Quote:

OH CRACKERS. We're throwing our annual seasonal get-together that same day. Dangit. I was reading it salivating over the thought of good crabcakes and thinking how it's not a far drive, etc. Dangit.

Re: Mini BB party in MD
well, since this dinner is actually only 25 minutes from my house i guess i won't be picking you up but i sure hope you can make it anyway. i know it's a long way to drive for dinner but the food is good and the company is better.

Re: Mini BB party in MD
speaking of the mini bb party... we were at gunnings this weekend with arubanutz (amy and chris) and had a fabulous dinner. the place is casual, jeans are more than accepted, the prices are not super cheap but the food is worth much more than they charge. oh, and the menu on line is only a very partial menu.
have i tempted anyone extra????

Re: Mini BB party in MD
We had a wonderful dinner here with Sherry & Murray last weekend. The food is fantastic and the atmosphere is very comfy. Besides having delicious, huge crabcakes, they also have the best flounder I've ever tasted!! The prices are very reasonable as they provide a LOT of food.
Chris is presenting a photography workshop that day/night so I'll be coming solo. I'm looking forward to seeing Kevin, Kathleen, Sherry & Murray. So who else is coming??? You won't be disappointed.

Re: Mini BB party in MD
you heard it guys... the food is great at this place. (save room for the chocolate eclair.)
please let me know who will be there. it is about 5 minutes from bwi airport and right off the highway so easy to find. the dinner will be at 6pm so that anyone who has to drive a distance won't get home too late. i need to know by wednesday who will be there so i can set up a reservation. here is their website. the menu only shows a small portion of the choices. the prices are reasonable, the food is great, and we are all great company! http://www.gunningsonline.com/ Quote:

Re: Mini BB party in MD
Of course you already know I'll be there, but here's my official confirmation anyway. And rest assured, my entree plate will be clean (even if I have the mega platter) and my eclair plate will be even cleaner. Dare anyone challenge my abilities?
Is it Saturday yet??

Re: Mini BB party in MD
I trust that Sherry will have no problems rising up and cleaning off her plate, dental probs be damned - but of course I'll be ready (like the vulture that I am) in case she needs some assistance.
I can taste that PBR now!

Re: Mini BB party in MD
dental problems improving. the butcher endodontist (may he rot in hell) is no more. next time our paths cross will be when i do dental surgery on him. (actually, that isn't the surgery i have in mind but this is a pg-13 board.)
the reservation is set. see you all tomorrow at 6pm!!! Quote:

Me too, see you guys at 6. And Sherry, make Murray do your dirty work to the evil endodontist - he'll fare better in jail that a mild mannered meek queen will

Re: Mini BB party in MD
the party was a success. the company was grand and the food was great. fisherlady didn't get there but the rest of us did. we enjoyed it so much that we are talking about meeting once ever month or so just to enjoy each other's company.
cathy will be posting pictures when she gets the time.

Re: Mini BB party in MD
Yes the food was great, and the company even better, but I must confess - I couldn't finish the (GIANT) platter of food I ordered!
  OK in my defense it was really 2 platters, comprised of everything that ever lived in the ocean, and I did eat an appetizer of crab dip and also a salad, and an entire eclaire for dessert...but I failed to finish my giant shrimp ball and my hunk of flounder How full was I? So full I only had 2 PBR's, there was just no more room...lunch sure was good on Sunday though! Going again in January, so anyone who wants to join us make sure to send a PM so we can plan

Re: Mini BB party in MD
mod guy, i am so impressed with your honesty. actually people, i have never seen so much food served at one time in my life. it came on 2 extremely large oval plates plus the 2 veggies were separate. truly enough food for 4 hungry people. kevin did the well to finish what he did.

Re: Mini BB party in MD
I confess, I was unable to eat it all.
I ate the big crabcake, all of the huge stuffed (with crabmeat!) shrimp, about 2/3 of the flounder filet, half of the squid or clams (or whatever they were), all of my fries, half the giant shrimp ball, most of the crab dip appetizer, a salad, and 2 PBR drafts - and every single crumb of the giant eclair! I think next time I might just stick to the double-crabcake platter, still a ton of food but manageable. Had a nice lunch of leftovers the next day See you all at the table in January! Quote:
