Lunch Saturday, July 14th - 2 options

Since Shogun is not open for lunch on Saturdays, we have been looking at other options. I received one suggestion last night and ran another one by some folks so we have 2 to choose from for something new. Option 1 - Cozymel's - this is a mexican restaurant that I think could be very WLS friendly. This was one of my favorite places to eat when I worked in the Cool Springs area. You can go to their website to check out the menu www.cozymels.com. Their food is not real spicy. I am a wimp when it comes to spicy and I love it. Option 2 - Genghis Grill - this is located in front of the Thoroughbred movie theater and was recommended by a bariatric nurse who is also a patient. This is a hibachi grill where you go through a line and choose exactly what you want cooked for you. The sauces are on the side so you control the seasoning of your food. I have never been here so this is all I can tell you about the place other than I was told it is very WLS friendly. Give me some feedback folks. I will not be on the board at all on Friday as I will be in a seminar all day (yeah FMLA regulations). If I don't get enough response by Thursday evening, I will make the choice myself. Love to all, Susan

Hi Susan, My vote is for either one!  I'm not picky.  We are going to see Harry Potter after lunch.  Scott says he'll go wherever. Beth

I don't think i'm going to make it to this one Susan.... just thinking about driving to Cool Springs wears me out. I'm gonna just relax at home this weekend. Next month I should be out of my 1st trimester and I'm hoping and praying to God that he gives me my energy back. This pregnancy thing has me draggin' for sure!! Hope ya'll have a good time! I expect a full report and pictures :-)

 

lots of love!

At first I thought, ohhhh yeah, Mexican.  It's been so long since I've had mexican food.  But then the grill sounds like it would have a better selection, better options for those of us still newly out.  My vote is for Genghis Grill, but I would be happy at either.  Thanks, Susan, for always taking the lead on setting this up for us.  See you Saturday!

I think I'm leaning towards Genghis Grill too. I went to their website to get a little more information since this will be a new experience for me. Check it out, it looks like fun. www.genghisgrill.com It's like a "do it with some help" stir fry. You pick your meat, seasonings, veggies, sauce (can be kept on the side), and starch (or no starch) such as steamed rice, brown rice, udon noodles, or tortilla. Then the grill masters cook it on a hibachi grill right in front of you.  They even have a printable copy of the nutritional info for the sauces so we can check out the sugars, etc. in advance.

Susan,  Sounds good to me. Will you be giving directions??????????

I called Genghis Grill to make sure the were WLS freindly.  The guy who answered the phone was not, but the manager on duty, David was.  He said it would not be a problem for us to order a childs bowl if we wanted.  He asked if we had the restaurant card to show that we had had the surgery.  I explained that many of us do not have the card because most restaurants don't ask for it.  He said that was fine.  So, now, I vote for Genghis Grill!   Have a good evening. Beth

My first thought is Genghis' grill..... looks like everyone else wants that onee too???

I've already got many plans this weekend, so I'm not going to be able to make it..But it is encouraging to see you all putting this together..I'll hope to make it to one in Aug..or Sept..

I vote for Genghis Grill as well. I can't wait to see everyone. I am going to my monthly group meeting tonight. Is it ok if I invite the group?

Thanks Susan....
