We are (that is, mainly I am) in danger of derailing or at least seriously sidetracking the Warehouse weekly breakfast item with a discussion of the possibility of a CU Sunday brunch in the Short North, for those who have logistical problems of one sort or another with the Saturday breakfast. I am one of those people, especially during Farmer's Market season.
In light of the sublime glory that is the okonomiyaki, ZenCha is the suggested location. Suggested timing, once a month, initially at least. Timing, the Sunday after Gallery Hop.
Any interest? At a minimum, let's stop bothering the Warehouse people with this discussion.... :D

I'm in. Once a month sounds ideal.

I have been a huge fan of Zen Cha ever since they opened, but I have not yet tried this okonokomokonokoyoko dish. Count me in for the brunch.

i'm down. but after looking up some okonomiyaki recipes, i'm pretty confident that i could make a decent, if not better, cabbage & seafood filled pancake.
i don't have a waffle iron or tea infuser tho... so sweet things, here i come! or maybe i'm just a loyal and lazy... indecisions!

Very excited... I'm so in.
So will the first one be Sunday June 8?

I've been meaning to gather a few peeps for brunch at Zen Cha since reading several delicious reviews, so this strikes me as a brilliant idea. I'd definitely show up to partake in okonomiaki (sp?), the dizzyingly (is that a word?) lengthy tea list and good company. :)

Oh, I can do that... it's not that, it's just... well....
Okay, so, I'll definitely ask them, and if they're up for it, I'll bring them along.
If they do come, for the love of God, don't talk politics with my stepfather. Seriously. I cannot emphasize this enough. That's all.

Yeah, they're easy.. I've been to (and hosted) several okonomiyaki parties where you get a couple of spatulas, some batter and "fixins" and you take turns making them on a shared griddle in the middle of the table.
Dont forget the Kewpie mayonnaise (Hellmans? Hell No!) and the okonomiyaki sauce from your Japanese market of choice.
I'm not at home right now, but I'll see if I can recall the recipie for the batter.. It's pretty simple.

Bear, thanks for moving the discussion. I thought about trying to merge into the oko review, but I didn't want to get all moderatory with my first post.
As with the Warehouse, I'd likely be in by default. I'm losing my breakfast spots to you people.
They open at 10am. I imagine this would be the target start time, with stragglers trickling in. Getting in early would allow them to plan the seating to allow for said straggling effect.

10 works for me, and as I noted in the other thread, at least this past weekend, 10-11 was a pretty dead time for them. It'd be nice, in bringing them business, not to crowd out the business they're already getting.

I will but this in with Jo, but the chances are always kind of 50/50 with us, even less so with it being a weekend before noon (we don't really sleep on weekdays).

I'd like to do this. Stopped in ZenCha yesterday with my kid, and saw Cab124! Thanks for the pudding tea!!
Bear, can you be a lamb and post a reminder on here when the big brunch day rolls around? I am very forgetful and don't want to miss the yumminess!!
