Burns Supper????

Is there any talk of locations? I know peckish pig hosts one we’ve gone to the last couple years, any others in the area? I’ll be calling peckish tomorrow to see about this year

I love the pig. Chicago Scots are also doing a event the 30th I believe. Sounds fun. I also went to the Scottish restaurant near me. It was f ing awesome. They had a piper play happy birthday. And gave me a very nice gift. So that can b a option from now on for gathering. Could do our own. They do have haggis. But I would miss the pig if we went somewhere else. Think it over.

Balmoral in St. Charles is a great place. I will check to see if they are having a Burns Dinner. I am sure it would be fabulous meal wise but most likely you will be paying for a top notch evening.

The Pig was a blast last year! I might even have my new kilt and jacket for the even.

I am absolutely dying to visit The Balmoral--the menu (especially the game offerings), and everything else there, looks fantastic, and a relative of one of my co-workers until recently was a manager there. And I think it would nice if the local X Markers in the western 'burbs don't have to drive all the way east for a change. But I'm flexible. You

I received an email from Balmoral and they are having a Burns Night Dinner on the 25th. They will be announcing the meal on their website and Facebook sometime early next week.

Balmoral just posted the Burns Dinner night info. $95 a person but the menu looks amazing.

I’m unfortunately will not be able to make the balmoral burns night. I’m sure it will be a amazing experience. And I will be back there soon. I do plan on making it to the Peking pig. So I hope some of you will join me. As it is always a great night. It is Tuesday the 22nd. I know work night but well worth it.

So, as an alternative, a suggestion. Saturday morning, meet Patrick ( @GrainReaper ) at O'Hare, we'll have someone
pick you guys up at Hartsfield and get you out to Conyers for our Burns supper. You'll have a good time, catch a late flight home and get some sleep. And you'll have a good story and a lot of laughs about visiting a bunch of good ole boys at a homemade Burns night. And a greater appreciation for the uptown versions in the big city. Patrick can vouch for the fact that he's survived several encounters with us, and that while it'll be a different kind of amazing, you don't miss out completely.

This is a true statement, an amazing group of good friends, lemme check my piggy bank, it’s silly to think but I could be home for work the next day...
