Bombay Brazier

Date of Visit: May 31, 2018
President: JJ W.
The Show: 12
The Score: 8.26

The night started off with visiting the charming city of Montgomery and The Corner Pub for pregame beverages.  Where we sat outside to enjoy night air and a pleasant smell of curry making its way down the street. I presume with excitement of having me as president again both program and dinner was well attended by membership.  As we stat there at the Corner Pub we remained entertained through our entire visit by listening to Member Butler tell us stories of his daughter’s new online presence, him losing his Uber license due to them having higher standards for drivers than Lyft, showing us video of an awesome punch he made on a guy spinning him in circles (while playing an online game) and lastly, he displayed Facebook post where the commend “God, I Thank You” was said many times.  There were a few other discussions surrounding Twitch, Plex servers, BBQ/smoked meats, and opening our very own Curry Restaurant in Montgomery, but I remained thoroughly entertained listening to Member Butler leaving me little time to join in on other conversations.  😊 Good times…

As we walked 374 steps up the street to Bombay Brazier we were promptly welcomed and sat it their wine room.  I believe I was told that only the highest of dignitaries were given the privilege to sit in that room…  As we sat there and continued to wait for two fellow members to arrive, we all sat in pondered when our drink orders were going to be taken. As our drink order was finally taken, the two members made their way in to enjoy the festivities.  Shortly after that dinner orders were taken which then allowed us to formally begin our meeting.   As president, I must say toast to Mr. Allen Patton was less than desirable.  I degree when president again I will do a better job in paying homage to Mr. Patton for his great contributions to our group.  With that we went straight into discussing both old and new business.

Old Business:

  • Member Falter was put on spot to discuss the upcoming Independence Day Celebration, which some label as the “Falter Meat Fest”
    • He shared the plans were being worked on but requested input on possible locations:
    • Member Holley offered to be host at Mr. Falters house. It was decided it may not be the best option asking the young Falter children to be our servers
    • It was quickly mentioned where people would NOT like to go: No Ruby’s, No Montgomery Inn
    • Member Butler’s new or old house. Concern was raised due to not having enough room for both a Bouncy Castle or the required slip and slide.
    • Terry’s Turf Club
      • Finally, a worthwhile suggestion that all members could agree on. Terry’s is said to have one of the best burgers in town.
      • Dates are currently being worked. Dinner will need to be at 4:30 being Terry’s is on the small side and to ensure our group in getting a table.
    • Falter will continue to iron out the details and share when they become firm.

New Business:

  • Member Menninger brought up a silly idea of starting a food board. Details were not very clear but initial conversations shot the idea down after finding out:
    • There was no offer of Health Care or a Costco membership
    • The board was deemed to help ensure for had at the February meeting was in fact the best Indian food north of the Mason Dixon Line.
    • FAILED with followup discussion if so desired.
  • The suggestion by Member Lukas to Card Member Taggart at each and every meeting until he makes his presence again at a meeting.
    • This note is too soon to be disgraced Member Kuschel. If you wish to retain a member is good standings you must REPLY ALL to the membership falling on your sword asking for forgiveness AND you must attend the next meeting in full costume. Failing to do so will result in a vote at the next meeting to revoke all memberships to CASACC.
    • FAILED with NO discussion needed
  • President Wurtz, myself, brought up the suggestion of creating a new yellow card to be named the “DD Yellow Card” with the first recipient to be Member Falter
    • With much discussion while DD is considered to be used by only the most immature, but, I cannot take orders already set for by Member Tozier in the constitution. (Speaking of constitution, where is it?)
    • FAILED with NO discussion needed
  • New probational member, Jake Weyer, was introduced to the group for review. Regardless of the Member Kauffman’s member, there is no interrogation if new probational members. 😊

With all that, the meeting portion of the meal was closed as we prepared for appetizers to be severed.  As we learned last night many first for Members was realized.  Life Lesson #1 The first and was when Member Tozier ordering his Shorba with a spice level of 9, it was in fact more like a 15 at most of Indian establishments around the area.  In between wiping his forehead, guzzling water, and running to the bathroom, he attempted to request his 10 spice level he requested for his main course to be lowered considerably.   As Rip stated, he was 20 minutes to late in requesting that and Member Tozier continued the steps listed above until he could eat no more.  Two other first were had but I feel it would only make sense if I held the suspense and share them as I conveyed the remainder of the night to all.  As others continued to enjoy their Shorba appetizers the main courses for most slowly made their way to the table.   All meals with expectation to my Shorba was brought with all.   I believe it was due to Rib wanting to especially make sure the President’s meal was spot on he needed to remake the first one because it wouldn’t have made it past my sophisticated pallet without being sent back.  Or, when they brought it out with other appetizers they didn’t realize I had asked for it as a meal and had to make it up quickly.

I think with dinner it may be easier if break them down into:

The Good:

  • Member Amos described his meal next coming of Gandhi. After about 2 seconds of his love fest for his meal I was ready to move on to the next member.
  • Member “The Englishman” Holley stated his Shorba tasted much like his main course, in addition having a zero spice.
  • Member Falter had what I’m calling Life Lesson #2, he quickly learned when ordering Chicken 65 in fact there was no spice level needed to be specified because being that it was going to come out feeling as you were putting the sun if your mouth it was so hot. When eating at Bombay Brazier next, Chicken 65 can now be known as “The Ring of Fire”
  • Member Leonard stated it was the best meal he has since joining. The spice level was spot on and looked forward to having it again.
  • Member Tozier, do I really need to say much more. Although I must say this was the least amount we have every seen Mr Tozier at a meeting he attended due to his 17+ trips to the restroom.
  • Member Kauffman spoke but honestly, I really didn’t listen. 😊
  • New probational member, Jake Weyer, stated that his meal was pretty good but could use a little more spice. This was his first time every having Indian, much like it was mine when I joined.

The Bad:

  • The bathrooms: how many times do we need to bring this up at each location.  The bathroom here I believe looks the same as when we started years ago with no updates.
  • Pompadours: many stated they were soft and felt as if they were not fresh
  • One stated his Shorba appeared to have a film across making him think it was sitting there a bit waiting before it was served to him.

Overall the scores tonight were pretty good except for one member which I won’t name. (Look Above) One member asked if he had eaten at the same restaurant as him…

Have I kept you in suspense enough looking for the final Life Lesson #3?   Allow me to give a little back story.  My 12 year old daughter was staying home by herself tonight and usually when she gets bored she calls.   At 7:30 I received my first call asking when I would be home.  Shortly after I received another call in which I answered.  Shortly after 8 I received yet again another call as we attempted to pay our bill.  Ignore with text, I’ll call you in a bit.   Another call moments later, again Ignore with text, I’ll call you in a bit.   You ask where the Life Lesson is.   Well, when I got to my care I called my daughter which she was HYSTERICAL.   All I could get from her was “There is someone in the house.  There is someone in the house……” Where I reply, “Luci, slow down, what’s going on”.   She then states that the dogs began to go crazy and she thought she heard someone in the house.   I told me she put one dog out and got out of the house and went to a neighbour.  I asked to speak to that neighbor.   She proceeded to tell me Luci showed up at her house scared and told me someone was in the house.   She then called the police and at that moment I had two police officers in my house with gun drawn looking for someone.   After speaking with the Police Officer, he stated it didn’t appear anyone was in the house and that nothing looking messed with.   I thanked him for ensuring my daughter there was no one in there.  Life Lesson #3, if you kids calls you back to back, answer it!!    I definitely am not winning the Dad of the Year award this year….

June’s official President will be L Holley.

One final comment “Lord, I thank you!”
