Jesse's is closed.I used to think the brain was the most important part of the body. Then I realized who was telling me that.

Post #3 - November 11th, 2008, 12:03 pmWhen did Jesse's close? I was just at the hardware store next door and it didn't seem different...
Thanks for the notes: since the threads exist even if the restos are gon, I'm going to leave the post above as it is, but please post updates about the restaurants here. New Soul Cafe is also gone.

You are correct, sir! I had to go back to my 2009 datebook to try to remember where we went last September, and Tampopo was the first thing I spotted. Although a lot of the usual suspects were in attendance at the Tampopo lunch, it was not an OFFICIAL Evanston Lunch Group event (membership cards presented, secret handshake given
). Correction noted above. Thanks.
