Bridget and I are meeting Richard Vobes, his friend Jimmy and expat Phil this evening at the Elephant & Castle for drinks followed by dinner at an undisclosed location (mystery! adventure!). It seems they heard our review of the Elephant & Castle a few weeks ago and want to take Bridget to task for some comments she made about Mad Cow Disease. Or maybe they just want free beer. We’re not sure. We plan to podcast about our adventures with the Vobes crew eventually, but Richard is all about the daily podcast. You should expect to hear of the Chicago Bites/Richard Vobes adventure at his site within the next day or so.

Elephant & Castle
Elephant & Castle is far too busy for everyone to know your name, but if you go there often enough, you start to become part of the active hum that runs through the place. Whether it’s the after-work crowd popping in for a brew or St. Paddy’s Day maniacs who cheer the drum & pipe crews shoving their way through the crowd, Elephant & Castle is always filled with people in a very good mood. And yet, it’s also a wonderful place to eat a quiet lunch or dinner with friends. I’ve been in after-work, on St. Patrick’s Day, and had dinner there many evening, and I plan to go back as long as I’m employed downtown. It’s my quick escape after a hard day’s work.
