Congratulations Steven. I think that's a great idea. It's close enough to our office that I can run up for a quick bite. Best of luck with the venue.

Sounds good! Although I am sad to see that Saturday isn't one of the listed lunch days. There seems to be a limited selection of nicer restaurants serving lunch on Saturday, but that's when I (and I'm sure many others) have the time to meet with friends.


Mmm, green papaya salad...

I'm so happy that you are expanding to do lunch service. It is so encouraging in a time like this. I, too, would love to see Saturday since I won't be able to partake during the week except on the rarest of occasions, but I will take what I can get for now. Thank you! I will spread the word among the Basa fans I know - and there are a LOT.
