My train got cancelled, so another night in downtown Chicago. I cannot get a rental car until morning.

So here I am at the Weber Grill resturant eating pretzel bread, drinking a Goose Island Honker’s Ale, and waiting for my meatloaf to arrive.

A sad side note is that I am Goose Island-ed out. Think I will shift to the Shiner Bock.

I had a bunch of draft posts going back to the first of the year. I meant to clean up the reviews. I wanted to add photos. I didn’t.

So, I am publishing them as is. Someday I will return to them to improve the quality of the posts.

Until then, enjoy!

The idea of Gravy Boat was born in 2008 while I was in Canada on business. My cohorts Jeff, Neal, and Tanja took me out to dinner at a little Italian place near downtown Toronto. Wine and beer was consumed with the fine food fare. Eventually things took a silly turn, and gravybo.at was born.

When I got back home I registered the domain. Neal set up the first server but it lost power on a regular basis. I moved it to my DreamHost account, but there it languished.

I picked it up, dusted it off, and am making it a compliment to http://www.extendedstaygourmet.com. All beer and gravy stuff will be here, food there.

I hope Neal, Jeff, Tanja, and others will contribute. We shall see.
