2019 Sevile Dinner

[Sandokan]

Advertisement (gone after registration)

Dear All, 

From my reconnaissance earlier this year, everything feels two hours later than the rest of Europe and my advice is to go with the body clock and not the round clock. Even though I normally eat around 7pm, in Seville I was not hungry until after 9pm. I will be booking this restaurant for 9pm and for the One Challenge I will be controversial and say that we meet up at 1pm and not the regular noon. I have not picked a venue for the afternoon meetup. 

Here is the menu for us, priced at €35. There were options for €40 or €45 per head, but I have asked if the wagyu beef can be offered on the €35 menu. 

At end of this email, is the list of people I know are coming, please firm up the numbers for yourselves.

For others, please tell me if you are coming and how many of you.

Ravi,

Just 3 for octo. Thanks for the update!

Hi Ravi

Thanks for all your efforts on this. The €40 menu would be our first choice but we’d be quite happy with the €35 if that’s the majority vote.

Still 2 of us for dinner.

Regards

John

I, too, would opt for the €40 menu but I would be quite happy, like John, to go with the €35.

Hi Ravi,

Also thanks for all your efforts!

I would be happy with either menu but I'd go for the €40 by preference.

I'd like to say I will join you all this year but my ongoing property nightmare continues so I'm completely up in the air at the moment.

If I do come it is going to have to be a pretty last minute decision so hopefully the restaurant can squeeze another space on the table! (I'm not fussy what I eat!).

[Sandokan]

I too prefer the €40 option! Let me wait for the opinions to come in and like certain politicians, select the choice by majority.

My preference would be the 40 EUR choice but would also go with the 35 EUR option, should the majority prefer it. I can also confirm my attendance.

Thanks a lot for the organization

Ravi, thx so much for the effort and the excellent compilation of menus.

Topfloor is 2 persons, as you listed.

We'd love the 40 Euro Menu but would follow the majority choice, of course.

It's nice to hear that Katerina and you are coming to Seville, Carsten.

Pete.

Just wondering, whether the deconstructed cheesecake is by a recipe from Derrida...

Dear All, 

Menu 2 at €40 per head it is.

I will also arrange a vegetarian menu. 

I need to firm up the numbers and pay a deposit, so please let others know we are at the menu stage of the dinner. If you can also let me know if you prefer the hake (fish) or beef or a vegetarian option, I can let the restaurant know - although they may ask again on the night to confirm. 

I am looking forward to the Challenge already.

Hi Ravi

The €40 menu is fine by us but would be happy with the €35 if that is the majority.

Again, thanks for all your efforts in organising this event.

cheers, Tom

Dear Ravi,

Thanks a lot for your effort for organizing this great event.

For me it is only one person for the 40€ beef Menu. 

Im looking forward meeting all of you again.
