I posted this idea a long time ago, but although it didn't go anywhere at the time, I thought I'd float it again.

I had a fantasy of a Chowhound consensus designating one or two appropriately located restaurants as an evolving a sort of Chowhound lunch-room. Maybe a Chowhound table, maybe a big round table in the back, where Chow-jurors could come by, head for the table, and end up with others of us. Just the typical shared table in a Chinese restaurant, but we'd all be asking for it. We could be as anonymous as we like - provide a name, or not; provide a chow-handle, or not.
