Not to continue to beat a dead sheep, but apropos the comment about the dispute over an "advanced haircut," many of the ethnic barbers in New York city are from Uzbekistan. Is this a coincidence or what???

See: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/27/nyregion/thecity/27barb.html

Oh, I'm sure the Buffalo Grove police were "delighted" to be called to this -twice.

As a big fan of both lamb and Chaihanna, I'll definitely have to check out Diora to see how it compares.

The recipe(s) I want from Chaihanna are for their spicy carrots and spicy beets--I've ordered both for takeout several times just to get my fix, since they are so addicting!

I'd leave out the forget-me-nots, though. Sweet little flower, lovely color, and they probably won't kill you, but not exactly delicious!

Hi,
Interloper made an effort to clarify. They have spent two weeks seeking an internet outlet to continue their grievances, because they just didn't get the sympathy they felt was theirs. I guess their scorched Earth will continue elsewhere, because we certainly didn't buy it.

I think a dinner at Diora has just come to the top of things to do.

Regards,


1) This response is much belated since I don't really care to participate in internet forums of any sort and only look at LTHForum from time to time.
2) I have no idea who Lana is and the only reason I bothered to sign up and reply to this thread is because you and others were making statements about the restaurant that were clearly false and which you would have seen were clearly false if you had just bothered to read the menu instead of gleefully joining the the anti-newbie mob that likes to rear its head here from time to time.
3) Even after I point out (2) to you you continue to act as if asking for a beef samsa is some rare especial request instead of a standard menu item:

Cathy2 wrote:
In Kenji's clip, I was waiting for a special request: please exchange the beef in the boeuf en croute to anything but beef.


and so does at least one other person

EvanstonFoodGuy wrote:
proceed to order a special made with lamb but tell the confused waitress they would like it made with beef instead of lamb because they all are allergic to lamb and one in the group was even traumatized by a lamb as a child.


4) The tone and attitude of the postings by most of the people in this thread is childish and embarrassing. Let's all beat up on this person who's pissed off about the godawful treatment she received from a restaurant owner! Of course, that is to be expected since in the approximately six years that I have looked at this forum off and on it has become clear that taking the business owner's side in a restaurant-customer dispute is default LTH behavior. You people find it hard to believe that six people could be allergic to lamb? I find it much harder to believe that six people would lie about being allergic to lamb and waste two hours in a dispute just to get out of paying four dollars each for a dish that they didn't like. If anyone were to invest so much time into losing so small a sum of money I would be inclined to say that it was done as a matter of principle and as a result of the feeling of offense at having been treated horribly and not out of dishonesty or greed. But hey, what do I know? I'm not a smartass LTHer, just an interloper, so my opinion isn't worth shit. Ciao, sweeties.

Actually, I am a long time LTHer with over 3,600 posts, and I took your side! As I said, this might very well have been a meeting of OSPITWWALA, a support group for the Only Six People In The World With A Lamb Allergy. I hear the next meeting is in Greektown.

Interloper...

For the moment, let's set aside the credibility issues raised by what may have been the most statistically improbable dining party in recorded history, because hey, who knows.

What you fail to understand, I think, is that it isn't about sides. It's about how tiresome it is to see yet another one-time poster who will never actually contribute anything to the forum swoop in to scream and yell about a bad service experience and essentially co-opt LTH as a cudgel to beat up a restaurant for whatever today's service-related offense is. Was the restaurant in the wrong? Could be! Don't know, never will, wasn't there, don't care. But in a place where people want to discuss food, these kinds of drive-by "I know, I'll get my revenge on the internet!" rants are annoying, disruptive, non-constructive and all too common. The cold reception isn't because everybody assumes the OP was in the wrong and is taking the restaurant's side. It's because the OP and her ilk, independent of whether they're right or wrong, are annoying.

But hey, what do I know? I'm not an interloper who has yet to actually participate in a food discussion here. I'm just a smartass LTHer who would rather discuss and learn about great food than read all about Chicagoland's 12,387,892nd mind-blowing service travesty as reported by a one-time poster with an axe to grind, so my opinion isn't worth shit. Ciao, sweetie.

Right here. This is the point where I stopped reading this post.
