Chris, my friend, you are STILL a genius!
Reply: rich my man! sorry that i missed you the other day. josh took good care of us. wes joined him for lunch. those two must really be good at what they do, because they would seem unemployable to the untrained eye(hope they see this). anyway, stop by again. let me know when your steak spices get low. take care, chris

Christo!! Wow! I think I got the only "Holy Crap" in this entire Guest Book, and man am I honered! I've sent 2 emails to hawg@basilsgrill.com, and waited.., but both bounced back. Then I tried the 'Contact Us' link a few days later, but still didn't hear back. Send me an email at Andy@Stotzer.com and we'll catch up. I have been thinking of visiting my brother in Medina sometime this fall. So, maybe I can swing by for a gyro or a garbage burger! Looking forward to seeing you dude. Take Care... Drew
Reply: hey drew, thanks for bringing it to my attention. i've corrected the problem. take care, chris

Hey Chris Christo!! Nice Website and Tavern! Remember me?? Your old Roomate from OSU?? I was searching the web and look what I found! LOL Well, it's been a long time my old friend. I've asked Ziggy about you over the years. I lived in L.A. for about 10 years, but moved back to Cincy about 10 years ago. Well, glad to see your doing well. My little brother lives in Medina, so maybe I'll swing up to see you at Basils sometime! Take Care.... Stotz
Reply: holy crap drew! it's great to here from you! i've always asked those guys about you, but the last location for you was back in archbold. i guess that must have been a while ago. if you make it up to see your bro, you've got to stop in, or we'll meet somewhere to catch up. damned happy to hear from ya drew. take care buddy, chris

Dave & Tess: tessdave@comcast.net
Kensington, Md |
Chris. Thanks for the great time. Can we put a tent up behind Basil's and stay for the summer? The food was great (Kebab- Friday, ribs- Sat.) the beer cold. Thanks to June and Lisa for not letting our beer get below that dangerous half-way point. Enjoyed meeting the fine folks who call Basil's home (Rene, Jim, Mike...}. A special hat tussel to Brian (Brain). And a most special thanks to Susan for putting us together.<br />
Please visit us in DC, but leave your wallet at home!!
Reply: hey guys. it was a pleasure having you. hope you can make it up for perch season. while dave did a fantastic job keeping the boat straight, he may opt for some dramamine this time around since the boat stops for a good deal of time. ah but the prize is worth it!
brian sends his regards, as do the rest of the gang. mike really enjoyed meeting the two of you. hope to see you two soon. make room in your freezer. thanks again for stopping by. take care, chris
