52397 Thu Dec 05 02:57:32 -0800 2002 6 2 Los Angeles Area 0 267299 We went with friends a week ago and had an incredible meal , once again. Menu was: Mushroom Quiche, Molasses Glazed Sweetbreads, Quail wrapped in Ozark bacon w/fuji apples and currants-walnuts, Soup w/seared Dayboat Scallop, Papperdella Pasta w/Civet of Rabbit, Mini Osso Bucco, Mini Wild Mushroom Pot Pies in mini copper pots covered with puff, Butter roasted Monk fish with Veg Root Hash, Wild Boar w/ autumn veggies, Cookies and Pots of Cream. Corkage policy is very fair ,something like buy one off list(which there are lot's of good choices at a reasonable price) and no cork on one of yours(hopefully a Special bottle), what a deal! The only bummer was writing all this down, what a work out, but I knew someone would say "what did you eat?" Thu Dec 05 02:57:32 -0800 2002 0 russkar 1 267311 Sounds awesome.....what was the damage? Thu Dec 05 11:26:58 -0800 2002 267299 0 alain 2 267329 Food was around 50-100 ea depending on how much was ordered, some of the ladies consumed less than the Power eating Guys. Good size portions so spliting is possible on some dishes. I noticed JOSIE'S has a "take out" menu for 8 that is 280- in the food sec LA times last Wed. What a deal at 35 ea even thought you have to heat it in the oven yourself!

Now I gotta figure out how to Teleport from Santa Monica out to The Dining Wilderness... Thu Dec 05 16:07:29 -0800 2002 267329 0 Chino Wayne 4 267467 How does the take-out taste when served at home? Sat Dec 07 12:11:31 -0800 2002 267335 0 juny1cat 1 267315 Sounds nice and light. You run a marathon for dessert? Thu Dec 05 12:04:34 -0800 2002 267299 0 Paul Hushting 2 267328 NO, just run in place about two hours before the morning 4 hour work out. It only takes about 3 1/2 hours to consume the entire menu, so estimate the same in exercise, but worth it. Actually most of Josie's food is somewhat health(alot of fresh veggies) conscious, besides yummy. Thu Dec 05 14:28:07 -0800 2002 267315 0 russkar
