I did get to play this at Gen Con. Check back soon for the review.
I had the pleasure of sitting down for lunch at Harry and Izzy’s for lunch the first day of Gen Con 50. This wasn’t my first visit, my prior visit was in 2010 I believe, and is one of my favorite dining experiences ever. The time I spent there with my wife, Lisa, has made me want to return ever since. Sadly, I ate alone on this adventure.
It was no surprise that I was greeted cheerfully and quickly. The hostess sat me in the back, away from the street. It was nice and could easily have been romantic if it had been a date. The server greeted me promptly, but she seemed a little nervous – it turned out I was her first customer out of training. She was a blast, but asked to keep her name out of the review. She took care of my order, just as expected, and then we had a great conversation about Gen Con before my meal came.
