SEPTEMBER'S CHOW DOWN SPOT:




http://www.ollieirene.com/

Located in Mountain Brook Village,
Ollie Irene is BRAND SPANKIN' NEW!!!
Chris Newsome, local owner, and head chef
opened the restaurant for business last month, naming it after his grandmother.
Chris said he would love to accomodate us for the week of September 19th,
possibly on Wed or Thurs. 
I need to know a definite head count and which day.
He has limited space, and wants to make sure we get the best experience. 

Ollie Irene is new, but already infamous for the fresh,
local and organic items they incorporate into their menu. 
The beer and cocktail selection are especially unique,
and I hear their interesting peach creations are a must to try! 

It might be a risk to try out a shiny, new restaurant with a large party, but... I think it's worth the risk ;)

My favorite memory was from last August, our very first dinner together as a Chow Down group! We enjoyed cheap apps, economical cocktails, and ventured out to Blue Monkey for more drinks and laughs. Angela put on a special performance in my car, rapping to Eminem and Rhianna's, "Love the Way you Lie." The rain didn't get us down since we were full of high "spirits"! I hope we can have more Chow Down "after parties"!!

One of my favs was Chuy's when we got to sit on the patio overlooking 280, enjoying delish margaritas and tacos! We had a really good crowd that night and the weather was perfecto!
