Chris is a little pissed...the bros have already locked the thread. I'm a little surprised they haven't deleted it yet.

Crazy. I was discussing with a coworker this week about the possibility of us going. Still on the fence with work schedules and whatnot.
It seems he could do a little better handling criticism, even if it's embellished or a little inaccurate, it's not the first time I've seen him blow up about things on the forum there though. You usually can't please everyone, shouldn't cancel something over that.
$14k loss on the dinner is huge...

There was some pants wetting going on on both sides in this one. I am sure the Ebinezer's guy is alright, but he seems a bit much for me from the interview he had on the BN.

After reading through the dinnergate saga (Pannepot saga wasn't bad either).... I don't think Chris Lively is the kind of guy that has a suggestion box at his business... can you imagine watching him read them

I was at the dinner last year, and stayed for the next day. Chris made me feel like family, and was a great host.
I can honestly say that the staff was also very impressive in their attentiveness and beer education.
If the dinner lost money...raise the price...in my opinion it is still a deal at twice the price!

i have to agree. he is more then a great host and the dinner is worth twice the price ( but i hope he dosn't double it because i don't make that much money
)
