We had a great time! Forum members we hadn't met before were present: NickB and MiamiChiwi. Regulars Matt Meltzer, Carlos Miller and Mike La Monica were there also and some new friends. The Local 150 is really good -- one of my fave Coral Gables hang outs. I love their little side dishes, which are filling and only $5 -- specifically the creamy grits and brussel sprouts with ham hock. The pork belly is incredible and the fish and chips are excellent. The owner treated our party to a bottle of Brooklyn "Local" beer -- it was delicious.

I ordered my grits and veggies to go and had them for lunch today.

The photos look great, glad you all had fun.

One for today and one for tomorrow! We have to get Abraxis to start serving gluten free pumpkin pie.

**Christy** · 11-23-2011, 06:01 PM

Looks like a fun meet-up! When I'm in town we'll have to do Ice Box!

**Carlos Miller** · 11-23-2011, 06:43 PM

Yes, it was a lot of fun. The owner is very cool.

**Matt Meltzer** · 11-23-2011, 07:02 PM

New Rule: It's not a real Meet Up until the paramedics show up.

Yeah. Fortunately Carlos did NOT attempt to photograph the EMTs.

Hi Matt please excuse my computer/forum navigation illiteracy,but here it comes again.I'm trying to figure out the most recent date of posts on the Don Aronow topic. (Year in particular) the posts with MADMAN and JW REED. THANKS.

**Matt Meltzer** · 01-31-2012, 02:37 PM

As far as the comments on the articles, I'm not sure exactly when those get posted. But you can check the comments section on both Aronow articles and see for yourself....

Oddly a letter from Ben Kramer showed up at my apartment a few weeks ago. It wasn't addressed to me. But the comments are all the way at the bottom of the articles so take a look and see if you find what you're looking for.
