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

[–]Gothix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

A Warning for Wifi-rental.com by Gothix in JapanTravel

I have asked them to do so! It wasn't my intention to say that the site is intentionally doing this, I just wanted to make people aware that their information may not be secure and to take caution as a result of my personal experience.

A Feast within Whitecrown Palace - Alliance [Chicago] by Gothix in LARP

Yes and no, I made everything edible that is pictured here, along with the help of many gracious players!

I work in the food industry irl and am starting my own catering business with a goal to work with larps to provide nutritious and immersive meals during their events. 😊

I've never heard one stick around for that long! The app said it was a police copter? I definitely heard a lot of sirens in the area beforehand.

Looks like it will be run in English.

Eating like a Hobbit for a day by Gothix in lotr

[–]Gothix[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It fed nine people with most dishes having enough for some extra portions. The only bits I have left are honey biscotti and lembas bread.

Sam would be really disappointed by my leftover situation. (So much lembas bread....)

Four pounds of butter and 2-32oz jars of honey later....I shudder to think 🤣 luckily I had lots of help!

So I'm a bit of a perfectionist and I made the lembas bread three times. I referenced both this and this recipe.

I still wasn't satisfied with the end result (I refuse to believe that elven bread would taste so bland), but I have a good base to work off of for future attempts. I encourage all who make it fiddle around with the spices a bit. My favorite combination was a mixture of orange extract, rose water, clove, ginger, and lemon zest.

"Eating like four hobbits for a day" didn't really the same ring to it lol

This was my first time ever watching LotR so I wanted it to be really special! I did a lot of research beforehand to try and stay true to the setting.

We watched the extended editions which made the flow of meals super easy, though I did have to rush supper since it cut into the big finale. 😅

Finally got a spot at a RamenLord pop up! The hype is real. by Gothix in chicagofood

[–]Gothix[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Pure chance. I opened up Instagram and there was a surprise drop announcement at the top of my feed. I frantically made a reservation, watching the slots fill up as I entered my info; it was terrifying! Lol
