It's a soup resturaunt. My BF & I went there last night. They have a great selection. Who ever came up with it did a great job! They mark all there soups, S,DF,LF,V. S-spicey, DF-Dairy Free, LF-Low Fat, V-Vegetarian. I had the Turkey Chilli. Not bad! & They serve it with sourdough, French, or Multi-grain bread! This is soooooo IBS friendly, I wonder if the person who came up with it had IBS. You can go to zoup.com for more info. I highly recomend it!

It looks awesome! I hope they come to Chicago - if they've come as far as Grand Rapids, they can hop over the lake, right?

>Waving eastward< Hey are you all coming to the IBS event in the Indiana Dunes?
Anyhow, it looks like Grand Rapids is getting two Zoups this summer. From Zoup's website:
Quote:
Zoup! Kentwood – owned by Roger and Sheila Christensen of Rockford – will occupy 2,295 square feet in Kentwood's Southridge Center at 2950 28th St. (between Radcliff and Breton, one block west of Woodland Mall). The store will have 45 seats with additional seating outdoors.
The Alpine-Comstock Park location at 3770 Alpine Ave. (north of Four Mile Rd.) is owned by Brent and Robin Garrison of Spring Lake. This restaurant will have 75 seats indoors, and a patio that will seat 16 to 24 people. It also will feature a unique, pick-up-only, drive-through window where customers can claim orders they place by telephone or using Zoup!'s online ordering and payment system.
I'm envious!

Hmmm, the Alpine one is the one I go to. I was there last year when I was pregnant. It's about 25 mins from my house, so it's not a trip I make regularly. I'll have to check out that Kentwood location; closer to me.

Jules, Where are you? I'm in Grand Haven. Funny...I guess with 8000 something people here (on the board) some have got to be from W. MI!

Ha, I figured as well. I'm in Gaines Township, which is right next door to Kentwood. Went to Jenison HS.

Hi Amie, Say, would you and other lower Michigan people be interested in a midwest regional get together at the Indiana Dunes State Park? AC, Snorkie and I are in the process of trying to organize one. My task right now is to contact the Michigan people and see if they will come. In terms of dates, we're thinking about June 9 or 10 right now. If you are inter- ested, defintely bring some gliders with you, I think every -body would love to see them, I know I would. -Bob

Hi Flipada, Say, since you are from western mich., would you also be interested incoming to a midwest regional get together at Indiana Dunes State Park? AC,Snorkie, and I are organizing it. Right now, we're thinking about June 9 or 10 as the date. One of my tasks right now is to contact all lower mich people to see if they want to and can come. I also posted to Jules above and Amie below. I still have to contact Michele and Angela plus the Indiana people. If you three can come, I think we're on our way to a really nice event. -Bob

I probably wouldn't attend. :0( I have a nine-month old and retured to work full time about a month and a half ago, so I'm sticking close to home these days. Sounds like a fun idea, though.

What do y'all do? Sure...I'm definitely interested. I'll have to wait till closer to let you know. I just bought a house and we may be closing that week. If so, I'll be in a rush to move. But yeah..that would be fun to meet everyone.
I've been off the board for 2 days and I've missed so much. Hard to catch up!

Hi Flipada, What do we all do? I suppose you mean what are we planning for the event? It's going to be an outdoor(obviously) picnic type deal. Once we get an idea of whose all coming,then we will divey out food assingments. One thing I have decided, I'm definitely going to bring swordfish steaks from Whole Food s to barbeque. We may even make all the barbeque IBS safe sea- food. I still have to discuss this with AC and Snorkie.This is also meant to be a bring your family type deal, even pets. I'm pretty sure they're allowed in the park. If you know any other lower mich board member that you can call or email, please do let them know and notify us. Thanks for expressing your interest to come, things are starting to look up now Thanks, Bob

Cool. Sounds like fun. I want to go but hoping that the house thing goes through too! We bought the house but contingent on the sale of ours...up to June 10. A couple came by yesterday (we've had our house up since Mon) and they're coming back today sometime...I think. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
