Hi All:
There is a few things I wanted to let you all know. So, I guess the best way is to do this is to broadcast this on a blog post.
Chow Times Readers Dinner
I am trying to finalize the dinner details the next couple of day. There are a few person who had indicated that they would like to attend but for some reason I am unable to get a response when I sent out the dinner details twice. I think my emails might have landed on their spam folder.
The responses we had is good. There are a few more places that I want to fill so that we can absolutely take over a private room for the dinner. The dinner will be fun and a one-of-a-kind experience in a very relaxed and informal setting. The cuisine will be exotic. If you want to join us, just send me an email at ben@chowtimes.com and I will forward you the details. The dinner will be from 5PM-8PM on Saturday, 20-June-2009.
Free Dessert from Ebisu
There were some confusion and flip-flopping over the Chowtimes-Ebisu exclusive Free Dessert promotion. Sorry about that. I want to confirm and let everyone know that you will get a Free Dessert for Every $30 Spent. We had a few feedback on email telling Suanne and I that they enjoyed this. If you had never been to Ebisu before, you should check them out. Please check the details of the Free Dessert promotion here.

That was a good one! Thanks for the link!
Hey, my friends and I went to Ebisu with the free dessert coupon. We spent almost 80 dollars, ordering 3 types of desserts, but the manager (Derek, was it?) only gave us 1 free. It might have been a misunderstanding on our part, but I just wanted to give a feedback.
I have to agree on Ebisu tho, the food was great and the place was awesome too!
Hi Detta:
I will get in touch with Deon and let him know of your feedback. I’ll get back to you once I hear from him.
Thanks, Ben
Hi Deeta:
I had a reply from Ebisu. They had confirmed that it is a free dessert for $30 spent. The coupon was described correctly but somewhere in the posting I had put in “For Every $30 Spent …” when we should have said “For $30 Spent …”. Sorry for the confusion and it is largely due to our inexperience in doing promos like this and not being careful in wording it correctly. I had made the necessary corrections by striking out the word “every” in the post.
Thanks
Ben
