It used to be called Jacky's - a reference to its original chef, the peripatetic Jacky Pluton (who may be best known for his short-lived, somewhat bizarre golf and cooking program on PBS, "The Fairway Gourmet"). It's now Hota, serving Nuevo Latino cuisine. Only open since January, Hota hasn't gotten much LTH love. But the Evanston Lunch Group™ is an open-minded bunch, so we'll make our own judgments on the quality of the food Thursday, June 21 at 12:30 pm. We're even open-minded enough to welcome interlopers who don't yet carry an official Evanston Lunch Group membership card.

See you there!

Hota
2545 Prairie Avenue (1/2 block south of Central St.)
Evanston, Illinois 60201

Looks like we'll have a group of eight, but there's still room for more ... Official Evanston Lunch Group membership cards will available for newbies!

Though this is as close to work as it gets, I regret I won't be able to make it. It will be a short day at work as we're leaving early to get to a meeting downtown, and time for a nice lunch isn't in the cards.

Do you know whether we might be able to order items from their dinner menu? It offers a lot more variety than lunch. (If not, no big deal!)

Sorry I had to miss it. I have no doubt it would have been more fun than a root canal.

High praise indeed! :lol:
