[Tru2Chevy]

Way to be a month early....

- Justin

[NJSPEEDER]

How many Tuesdays between now and then?

[PolarBear]

Yeah well lately it only goes up a few days before the meet so I figgered Maybe if it goes up earlier more people may come.

[Rich189]

i wont make it... to far of a drive to try and get back in time for work

*edit* if only phil says hes coming i say we move it somewhere closer as the last one i came to it was central group plus 1 or 2 from north

[//<86TA>\\]

i guess i dont have any excuses for missing this one, i will be there, but if you guys want to move it a bit further south thats fine with me, but we can wait for other to chime in.

Only other option is H.I. i think, we were just there a few month back though

[Mike]

im not gonna pass chilis, to go to chilis........if were gonna go up there, go somewhere we cant go here

[PolarBear]

Where do you pass Chilis to get to Flemington?

[Mike]

you dont pass it literally, but there are at least 2 that are closer

[//<86TA>\\]

i think there is a new longhorn steakhouse where the flemington speedway used to be....

[PolarBear]

I bet Mike will complain because there is one in Hamilton :rofl:

[Mike]

whatever, dont matter to me, ill drive 40 minutes north to meet up with ONE person from the area, sure

[//<86TA>\\]

i drive 30-40 minutes south to meet with yous guys:moon:

[PolarBear]

His rationale is that only one person from your area shows up.
What about Famous Daves in Hillsborough?

[BTK79]

I'll be there.

[//<86TA>\\]

i really dont care where we have it, i'll go, even if i do have to drive a little to get there. Its still a month off, maybe the flemington folk will come out of the woodwork

[//<86TA>\\]

His rationale is that only one person from your area shows up.
What about Famous Daves in Hillsborough?

i understand his rationale, it make sense, i was just harassing

longhorn ftl

Famous Daves FTW - unless you mean Untamed's house. Not sure if that is FTW or not. :)

[Mike]

there was 14 people at ruby tuesday, (not counting scotts kids) and 13 out of the 14 were local. so if we go north do we have the same? a caravan driving north to meet up with one?

[BTK79]

I don't mind , it will be a change.

[JL8Jeff]

Last time we went up to Flemington we had at least 5 or 6 people from that area come out so it's worth giving it a shot once in a while. If nobody from that area wants to come out then we'll keep it closer. HI Rib is a nice in between location but we can try something different.

[BonzoHansen]

Famous Daves in Hillsborough!

[WildBillyT]

I don't really care about driving down to the Chilis on Rt 1.

[BonzoHansen]

I don't really care about driving down to the Chilis on Rt 1.

Then where were you 2 days ago? :-P

[black95maro]

That is non-drosey formula, excuses :roll:

[BonzoHansen]

That is non-drosey formula, excuses :roll:

I hate it when I'm drosey

[NJSPEEDER]

Is this the second Tuesday from now or from next Tuesday?

[BonzoHansen]

Tues October 14th

[NJSPEEDER]

This October or next year?

There was a great turn out the last time we went up to Flemington and it gave some of the younger members from that area a chance to get out with us too. I say stick with it and only take it out of the rotation if there is a lack of locals or interest in general.

[NJSPEEDER]

p.s. Start posting this up on other forums you guys visit and let them know that everyone is welcome to join in our antics. It would be nice to really take a restaurant over some time the way we have the Chili's on Rt1 in the past :D

[black95maro]

i'm telling everyone i know with an fbody or even the slightest interest in one! lets make this one huge!!

[NJSPEEDER]

http://content.altnation.com/gallery/files/1/7/3/3/1733-whaambulance.jpg Does your truck take diesel or gas? :D

[Pampered-Z]

They talked to me? Maybe you were just too busy trying to Break NJ's new camEro!

[black95maro]

come outa no where and start tossing orders around eh? buy me a tank of gas and ill go hang out with people that stood on the other end of the parking lot amongst themselves again

i hardly make enough money to afford gas to get to school and work everyday. and i know for a fact all my friends are in the same situation. sorry we don't trek across the state to hang out with you?

[BonzoHansen]

We do HI Rib every few months..that isn't too far.

[black95maro]

i don't know where that is?

[Mike]

across the state? sorry but aparently your area is close enough for us to come to you, so why not give it a try some time yourselves?

[black95maro]

I'm sure you guys make more cash then a few 18 year old kids? I'm not trying to internet battle here it just seems like you always have something to say when we plan something like this.

[BonzoHansen]

i don't know where that is?

Rt 31 just south of 202

I'm sure you guys make more cash then a few 18 year old kids? I'm not trying to internet battle here it just seems like you always have something to say when we plan something like this.For the record we do this every 2nd tuesday, not something we plan off the cuff.


Mike is not picking on you in particular so don;t take it personally, just the concept in general that he feels we got forced to go north when virtually no one comes to us, or in fact even comes when we are farther north, such as hi rib.

MMMmm ribs, we gotta go there again....

[Mike]

I'm sure you guys make more cash then a few 18 year old kids? I'm not trying to internet battle here it just seems like you always have something to say when we plan something like this.

i do, i always say, "we live 10 minutes from 2 chillies, why drive up there?"

and then i say, if there's a restaurant up there that we don't have around here, its different.

but apparently i have more money to burn so i should burn it

[black95maro]

why don't we try something different? why is it always chilies? i remember chipotle being discussed? i feel the same way as you i guess, you guys have a chilies near you why would i drive just to go to another chilies? makes sense. so we should try somewhere else, maybe something that isn't all over the place.

wow i didn't know anything about this place. that IS close!

we say chilies because we aren't from the area, if someone from the area steps in and suggests something good, then im sure we could make some arrangements, nothing is set in stone until we walk in the door

[Mike]

yeah hi rib is awesome too

[black95maro]

well what is everyone's opinion on chipotle? it's my favorite place.

[Mike]

never been to one, whats the menu like, and how far is it from that chilies we went to, the redeeming quality of that place was how easy the shopping center was to get to

[black95maro]

http://www.chipotle.com/

it's pretty much like a subway in the sense that you go down the line telling the guy what you want but you making a burrito or tacos or a salad... it's so good, in my opinion at least. it is right next to the birdgewater mall so i would say between 10-20 mins from chilies in flemington depending on how fast you drive and traffic and crap. but yea i think it's a great place.

[wretched73]

yea chipotle is awesome, but if chilies is a stretch for some people its probably not a good alternative

we could all diner it up at the county griddle!!! hahah

but i can come to the meet, im willing to make a drive down south though

[Mike]

guess i shouldn't complain too much about driving up there, since that's where im shopping for houses, but its mainly chilies lol

[WildBillyT]

The Flemington area kind of sucks because it's either a chain restaraunt (Chili's, Applebees, Friday's, and now Lonestar), a diner or the like (Metro, Country Griddle, J&S), or restaraunts that you don't really want to have a car club meet at (California Grill, Matt's Red Rooster).

I agree that Chipotle may be a bit far, even though that's almost walkable for me.

I'd recommend Ol West BBQ in Annandale because their food is great, but again, that is food the "southern" guys can get at HI, which is already in the rotation. And it's farther from central Flemington.

I am going to dig around a little and see if there's anything unique and good in the area.

[BonzoHansen]

Never enough BBQ....

[WildBillyT]

Never enough BBQ....

Yeah, Ol West's Kansas city ribs are awesome, IMO much better than HI. But that's a haul for food that's already close to you.

[ws6 jim]

I got word I'll have one of my cars back this wednesday and I will travel a little bit if its something different so whats the word for this months dinner. I've never been to famous dave's or chipotle. Lets do a poll or something to get some kind of ideas going. I blame the beef bouillon guy for starting things early!
