Is there something like that for the south bay crew?

I'm sure they'll end up doing something in Valley, so we will no longer seem feel like SF's poor cousin.

In the mean time, I propose a "Yelpening".  I say a bunch of us get together for lunch and attack some place that hasn't been reviewed yet.  Anyone up for it?

How about next week, on Tuesday, March 7th?  Who is in?

Lunch maybe tough since the crowd is limited to who ever has enough time at lunch to make it there and get back in time.

How about a late dinner?

Nice plan Rachel, but I'm stuck in school throughout the day and kidnapped by my marketing teacher until the evening.  I'd love to attack an unreviewed place though.

Dinner works!  Or we could even hit a bar (assuming most people are old enough).  I'm good either way.  Would people prefer the peninsula or closer to San Jose?

These are all near the 85 & 280 interchange, for accessibility:

Blue Pheasant Restaurant & Bar http://www.yelp.com/bi...

Red Pepper http://www.yelp.com/bi...

Judy's Kitchen http://www.yelp.com/bi...

Badal Indian Cuisine http://www.yelp.com/bi...

Tanuki Izakaya http://www.yelp.com/bi...

Moon Restaurant http://www.yelp.com/bi...

Or the creatively named:

Tory's Restaurant http://www.yelp.com/bi...

Vivi's Restaurant http://www.yelp.com/bi...

Of course, since they aren't rated, we'll have to call and make sure they are open.  Any of these sound good for an adventure?

Rachel: "Tanuki Izakaya" has been out of business for several months, and the site itself looks like it's about to be demolished or refurbished.  I made a notation in the business information comment section, since there's no option for "report this business as gone or bogus."

Most of those places you list are toward the foothills.  If one turns _left_ on Stevens Creek, there are very many more good places, e.g. Elephant Bar, BJ's, etc.

I'm only listing places that are unrated in the database.  I don't know anything about any of them.  The idea was to rate an unrated place.

Blue Pheasant is pricey when it's open as a restaurant, and becomes a meat-market dive bar when the restaurant closes.

Does Wednesday at 8:45 work for everyone (someone requested a late dinner -- is this too late or not late enough?)?

How about Red Pepper?  According to Jatbar, it's Mexican:

Mea maxima culpa, but I'm taking an exam which was _supposed_ to happen tomorrow - which meant my joining you guys would have happened afterwards, when there was no study pressure - but I found out yesterday that it's been delayed one day 'til Friday.

Good for my GPA, but bad for my plans to join you: I really need as much study as possible beforehand, which means tomorrow night will be spent with other frantic physics students.

Hey Rachel, most likely I won't be joining you guys tonight.  I had a long night in the City yesterday and I'm feeling a bit under the weather.  I'll catch you guys next time.  I'll look forward to somebody's first review of Red Pepper.  Enjoy.
