Message: | This was a helluva good time, and I learned quite a few new (for me) places to add to my list when cavorting around LA. I think the ribs I brought, though great, suffered for being basic dry, smoked ribs, but the criteria by which we judged were fair and thorough. Chris was right about the sweet tea and Richards Anchor Steam winter ale, both great accompanying beverages. I look forward to the next Hound offline, whether it be another Chowdown or simply a restaurant meet. Beaucoup thanks to Thi for organizing, and to Elisha for volunteering his pad. BTW, Elisha, your cat rocks! Thanks also to everyone who participated to give us a decent cross-section of LA 'cue. Kriss |
