Choices are:

Herb Baked Chicken

A large boneless, skinless, chicken breast seasoned & grilled until golden brown

Two large catfish filets prepared your way-grilled, blackened, fried, or baked, a Southern favorite. Please note that the catfish will be prepared only one way for the entire group.

Honey Glazed Ham

Upscale Buffet

Price- $18.95 per person + gratuity

Choice of two entrees from the above list, but in buffet form.

What do you guys want to do? I'm leaning towards the upscale buffet myself.

 

[Geezer]

First choice: Upscale buffet

Second choice: hamburger/hotdog buffet

I don't eat carbohydrates and a buffet style meal allows me to eat what suits me while allowing others folks to have what they like.

I'm betting that I am speaking for more people than just myself when I say... spaghetti & meatballs/hot dogs and hamburgers blow! I can't believe those items are even offered as a buffet.

This is definitely not fare that I'd pick for after a long day's ride... & especially if it's hot.

I would definitely pick either the plated dinners or the upscale buffet. Personally, I'd be ok w/ just a plate of food & not a buffet but will go w/ the majority fo' sho'... & hopin' it isn't a hot dog/spaghetti buffet.

to me, this event is all about the people interaction, not a fancy-schmancy dining experience, so I'll be OK with the majority vote -- but honestly I'm not a big fan of buffets since they usually translate to food that is cooked too long and gets cold quickly. not to mention that I eat more than I really want to when a buffet is available.

so, my preference would be a plated dinner -- less likely to overeat and better chances for warm grub.

(altho I'm trying to figure out how something called Herb BAKED Chicken can be grilled until golden brown??)

 

[Grumpy]

Plated would be the first choice followed by Upscale.

[Jarmo]

The plated dinner sounds fine to me.

I would also be willing to go with the choice of the majority .

I'm easy .

 

[quicksilver]

plated dinner.

Catfish and lasagna are my picks.

Chicken, roast beef, or ham might be easier for a large group to agree on.

As long as the meal once walked and bled and there is a lot of it I'm good

Greetings all,

This here is Slapnpop's faithful pillon, or however it's spelled. (Hi Luvtoride! When are you coming to visit again?)

I had considered making my signature line something to the effect of

"I know we just went 100+mph. It was fast. I don't need to know exactly how fast!"

I think it says something when it takes a post about dinner to finally get me onboard. I ramble when I finally do have something to say, so bear with... Slapnpop has already heard my general bitching on the situation.

Hot dogs/hamburger or spaghetti buffet is laughable, imho.

Plated dinner would be okay with me, as would the upscale buffet. With a plate, you know what you're getting and roughly how much. For a little bit more money, you can have two different types of food and more of it if you so choose, but if you're like me, you'd most likely only end up eating one choice anyway.

My biggest issue with either the plate or upscale buffet is that there will only be two choices for the entire group, hence I have finally joined the forum.

I require protein (do eat complex carbs, preferablly whole grain) but do not eat beef, ham, or fried food if I can help it. So I would like baked or grilled catfish or the herb chicken. The manicotti dish is the only of the non-beef pastas that come anywhere close to having enough protein.

I'm thinking with the person who said that chicken, roast beef, or ham might be easier to agree on that there is a good point. If I had to choose only one of my preferred meals, it would be the chicken, even though I bet the catfish would be tastier! Just cause probably more people would want chicken than catfish?

So, that's my intro and those are my thoughts on dinner. Looking forward to meeting folks in September.

Thanks for posting Kestrel...

you convinced me -- so, I'm fine with the catfish or chicken!

>>SUCK-UP<<



nah... it only looks that way from a distance,

or, how about... I just play one on TV.

actually, this really is fine by me.

besides what good would sucking up do?

oh yeh, I almost forgot -- there will be beer at this place, right?

Catfish and beer -- whats not to like?

after a full day riding and having fun, we'll be settling down for a dinner with friends, with no plans to ride afterward... so, there will be beer, right? Boone isn't in one of those southern dry county places is it?

 

[borrec]

+1 on plated dinner. Any entrees are fine except Spinach Cannelloni? Do we have BMW riders coming too? :huh:
