Al-bawadi Grill lunch, Bridgeview, noon Wed 2/11!

Post #1 - February 10th, 2009, 3:08 pmChicken and beef grilled over live charcoal... falafel that sparkles with brightness and sincerity... a grimy strip mall in the middle of nowhere... yes, it's Al-bawadi Mediterranean Grill, self-proclaimed to be one of the ten best middle-eastern restaurants in Bridgeview, and in my personal opinion a lot better than that.
Who is brave enough to join me and at least one other LTHer there for lunch tomorrow, that's right, Wednesday 2/11 at straight up noon? Respond in this thread, or just show up. Really, it's no harder to get to than Chuck's, since it's about a mile from it. (Probably easier, actually, as Harlem moves faster than Cicero.) Take the Stevenson/55 to Harlem, south on Harlem to 87th, turn right onto 87th, it's just past Lindy's/Gertie's in the former Arby's or Taco Bell or whatever it was (they said Arby's to me once, but I think Taco Bell is correct).

Post #3 - February 10th, 2009, 8:20 pmI believe I'm the aforementioned "at least one other LTHer". I'm looking forward to trying some South Side Middle Eastern.Steve Z.

Post #4 - February 10th, 2009, 10:03 pmMore of you should join Mike on this meal. It's really a great place, probably the best Middle Eastern food I've eaten in Chicago, and compares favorably to the best I've had in detroit/windsor. I'll be posting a few pics and thoughts in the main thread shortly.

I wish I could but my schedule just won't allow it. If it had only been scheduled for Thursday instead of tomorrow . . . luck of the draw.
That said, I do hope to get here soon and when I do, I'll try to post in advance, in case others want to join.

Post #6 - February 11th, 2009, 10:18 amMy friend Patoriq -- one of the last men standing (at the Berghoff bar) after the 24-Hour Chowathon of years past -- is driving in from DeKalb for this lunch, and we'll both be there (might be a few minutes late, but not too much)."Don't you ever underestimate the power of a female."
