DeLarla 22 Posted August 24, 2005 I haven't pre-ordered the menu from Buca yet because some folks said they're coming for sure but haven't confirmed. Plus all the Vegas last-minute people. The food served at Buca is enormous (each entree serves 8-10 people.) I'm going to make reservations for 20, but I won't pre-order yet. If anyone has time to go on-line and search for Buca di Bepo, they should have an on-line menu. I think everyone was pleased with my selection last year - nobody complained and things got dead silent when the food arrived except for the "Mmmms" and "OMG, LOOK HOW BIG IT IS." I'm suggesting: One large salad and one small (feeds 900 in BucaLand) One large Garlic bread (think of an enormous deep dish pizza) One chicken dish One white Pasta dish One red Pasta dish One dessert Michelle, what do you think? Wanna take a stab at suggesting the menu this year? Let's vote. Last year dinner was 5:00 p.m. but 1/2 the people were an hour late so this year it's 6:00 p.m. Trish is driving, lots of folks are traveling. Should we make dinner for 6:00 or 7:00 p.m.? Thanks, and see ya'll soon! P.S. I finally went South and earned the right to say "ya'll," Ya'll! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mita 2 Posted August 24, 2005 I am going to be crying that weekend. We cannot come. Hubby cannot get time off from his new Job. I dare not go alone and leave the kids with my inlaws (do not trust them) Anyway I will miss being there. But I am putting together some clothes to send for the exchange.. Bummer:( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
La_madam 20 Posted August 24, 2005 Well John and I cant leave out until Friday morning, and its about an 8 hour drive.. So I probably wont make dinner that night. Looks like Trish wont be making dinner... I like 6:00 myself becuase by the time we order and get settled it wil lbe closer to 7 anyways I hate to eat too late, if we make it for 7 then we will be eating around 8.. but I will go along with what majority says Lisa, I think your sugesstion for dinner is perfect. . Lets have everyone Answer the question and cut and paste in your reply so we can get an idea of who wil lactually be there for dinner Who will be their for dinner? Michelle Who will not be there for dinner? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeLarla 22 Posted August 24, 2005 I agree that Bandster rules should dictate an earlier dinner. If I wait too late to eat then I eat way too fast and end up PBing anyway. Six O'Clock it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeLarla 22 Posted August 24, 2005 http://www.bucadibeppo.com/loc_index.asp?FL=YS&ID=NV#List That's the website for Buca di Beppo that has the menu, address, phone number, driving directions, etc. Jack, are you saying it's not worth driving 2 days for 2 tablespoons of grub?
