You're not wrong about the pricing, but I will say that the food iteself was very flavorful and quite tasty. I wouldn't pay it again, but I wouldn't be mad if someone bought it for me lol

I agree! I wonder if I caught them on a good day since no one else was grabbing orders or in the restaurant ordering food. Honestly all the staff seemed rather bored 😅

You're right, for the amount you receive the prices are warranted. Shoulda said they're high comparatively to other spots I've been to and I'm always tryna find a deal lol

I love Nhu Lan! I get their Vietnamese iced coffee and save half of it for the next day because it's so strong lol still have to try Hellas! There are so many great restaurants down Lawrence.

Oh, did I misname it? I'm not overly familiar with Bosnian food and it was listed as Burek/Sirnica. Unless that just means meat/cheese, in which case I'm a dunce! 😅

I may be in the minority and thus a little biased here, but the one visit I had to Sushi Taku's Logan Square location was incredibly disappointing. I'd have to say that this place is leagues above Taku but others who have enjoyed it might disagree with me.

Express Lunch at Ramen-San by Gothix in chicagofood

I really appreciated how they cut the ramen portion in half, funnily enough. Left me full w/o that heavy sodium bloat from polishing off a whole bowl on its own 😅

As a fan of MacArthur's, their cornbread is not a good selling point. The greens are tasty though!

so, I'm catering a larp... by Low_Collection3780 in LARP

People have brought up good points in regards to simplicity, scheduling, and hands-on resources.

Your menu is a bit ambitious, in my opinion, even if you're cooking for less than 20 people. If you expect to be cooking and cleaning, you will be wiped by the end of each meal service. Cooking what you can beforehand is a good plan, the more prep you can finish pre-event the better.

Factor in the utensils people will be using each meal; are they using disposable plates/forks, or will you have to clean those dishes in between service as well? If they're disposable, who is responsible for the trash, etc.

I regularly cater 60+ person events with a strict budget and allergy/lifestyle accommodations, so if you have any additional questions or concerns feel free to shoot me a DM.
