Greetings!

Too much time has passed since the last dinning experience with kindered spirits in the Los Angeles area. May I suggest an early November date to call together the Hispaniphiles for another evening of good cheer and even better cuisine! I am open to all suggestion for locale and date. Lets get the process going.

Cheers,
Shawn

Count me in!!!Just name the place and time at least 2 weeks in advance.

Sounds good! I was just thinking about it today - and secretly hoping someone else would organize it. In fact, I am sure Mister Basco would be happy to help you put it all together. He even offered to treat us all. Isn't that sweet?

CAlibasco suggested a Basque place up in Chino Hills. Would that be too far for you to drive, Laduque? there is always "La Paella" as well.

Exactly where is Chino Hills? and if it is on a Saturday, it would give me enough time to drive up!

Well, it is east of Los Angeles. I was just looking at the map, and it looks like it is almost directly north of San Diego. It seems like the 15N will take you almost directly there.

Calibasco, any thoughts?

Outstanding!

It looks as if the ball is beginning to roll.....Calibasco, Calibasco come out wherever you are... I wil agree to nearly any sugestions. How is friday, November 9?

works for me. I may be bringing a co-worker and new Spanophile as well.

As for Mr. Basco, apparently he only responds to PRIVATE emails. That new job is going to his head

Alas, I see that the sacred name of CaliBasco has been slandered by the "salchichaphile" Nicole. Let me just say this...I think we should do Centro Basco in Chino.

Chino (and Chino Hills) are between the 57 and 15 freeways (if coming from the south go up the 5 to the 55 N, go from the 55 N to the 91 E and take the 71 N to Central Ave. Go N on Central a few miles, and the Centro Basco is on the left. It is perfect as dinner is served "family style"... If you want, I can call ahead to the Berterreches and see about some special seating...

How about November 3???

P.S. I'll be happy to pay for dinner if you guys can postpone dinner plans until November 31st. :p

the third is okay for me.
