Now I'm not suggesting we actually go back to Chip Shop, but merely stating that I had such a great time there - the food, the atmosphere, the frying of every food on earth, that I think we should try and find a place similar in warmth and tastiness for this Sunday.
Thoughts?
And happy thanksgiving SND!

There's always that place on Dekalb I suggested a while ago... can't remember the name right now. It's Egyptian or Moroccan or something, and the atmosphere is very nice and cozy.
I loved last Sunday's vibe, too. I will think on it. I like (cuisine-wise) the idea of eating thai or vietnamese or ethiopian- cause we may want the reprieve from all the turkey and stuffing. So maybe Sara's idea is right on. I will post more later.
Claudia and Peter are together right now, sitting on Peter's couch. How about Sheep Station?
i'm in. like asian too, or african and espec ethiopian! what place is sara talking about? can't wait.
Kif is the place I was talking about. Where Liquors used to be. Here's NY mag's review:
The short history of this space on DeKalb makes a tidy analogue to Fort Greene’s own transformation. It once housed a booze shop (the “Liquor Store” sign still hangs above the restaurant), then the beloved Liquors restaurant, and now this Moroccan spot, which trumpets a roster of tapas-sized dishes and reveals a predilection for local and sustainable ingredients. There are just nine tables lined up against a concrete wall hung with mirrors, plus two more in nooks near street-facing windows. But the dusky lighting and the dappled glow cast by hanging lanterns make the slender space feel inviting and intimate rather than cold and cramped. Still, you’re likely to be elbow to elbow as you dig into little links of juicy mergeuz sausage placed over red pepper coulis or swipe triangular chicken-stuffed pockets of shatteringly crisp dough through tangy yogurt sauce sweetened with raisins. The more substantial lamb tagine, cooked and served in the namesake cooking vessel with its distinctive conical top, might not compare to its Bay Ridge counterparts, yet its restrained honeyed sweetness and accompanying ultra-light couscous come closer than you’d expect. — JJ Goode

I will be flying back from SF tomorrow night, so I won't be there. Sad. I love you all!
Bad news from Kyle and me. We will still be here in PA, not returning until early Monday am. BUMMED.
Looks good to me
