That's great news Karen!

What's the reason behind it? Do you get many diners asking for low-carb menus?

Is it a test-trial for the restaurant to see if makes sense to make it a regular feature?

Has it been publicized?

What's the expected attendance?

And finally, who'll join me there from our forum

I believe that by then, my 5th week of BFL, I may just want to treat myself!

Karen, will you be in the kitchen, or sitting with us?

We get many low-carbers, but the reason is to get some excitement going about the restaurant and to promote low-carbing. It's such an exciting way of eating that I want people to know that is is not restrictive

We plan to make it a regular feature in the slower months. There is another menu already planned for March and April. Low-Carb French, and Low-Carb Spice that is full of Indian Flavours.

Quote:

Yep! The press release above has been sent to all the food media in Vancouver and we already have a table of eight food journalists. We also sent emails out to our entire email list and received a few bookings.

We have room for 50 people.

Well, I would expect all the Vancouver low-carbers to be there of course!

I won't be sitting with you, but I'll be popping in and out of out in the dining room, answering questions, etc.

Question

I'm already antsy with anticipation and frustration! Oh to be there at this groundbreaking endeavour (and KUDOS, Karen, you driver, you!).

Any chance the March and April dates are known? I'm willing to book off time but need a ton of advance notice in these uncertain times...

I hope you can make it to one of the later ones. I'm chuckling here, of course you'll remember to book your bed with the bestest and most entertainingest LC hostess in town? (pardon the deplorable language abuse)

Starts at 7:00 p.m.

And Judi, whether there are more LC dinners depends on the success of this one!

In THAT case, a good time to let y'all know that I've booked a seat (cross your fingers I get the time off).

I HAVE asked to be seated with Ruthie (and near the food writers' table if that can be managed but who knows... doesn't eavesdropping sound like FUN?! ... or would that be tabledropping?)

YeeeeeeHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Talking Thanks for the Heads Up Karen!

Unfortunately, I have class on Wednesday and I am barely hanging on. I am interested in Low Carb French. Any chance it can be on for April? My class finished at end of March.

Life has been very stressful lately, sorry I haven't been around much.

Talk to you all later.

Default Hi, gang!

Hi, Karen, Wa'il, Judi, Sarlye, Ruth, and all local and not-so-local low carbers!

I've already given my regrets to Karen and Wa'il - I'm working that evening - waaah! Maybe a later one.

Hi, Sarlye - I'm busy too - haven't been around much either. Working 7 days a week, and I'm whacked!

Rachel
