The Great Guinness Toast

Every year, thousands of brilliant people gather together at their favorite Irish pubs and indulge in the finest glass of suds this earth has to offer.   What is special about February 18th, 2011 is that all of these people will be doing it at the same time.   Thats right, at 10:00 pm central time, every man, woman, and child who has ever appreciated the first quaff of a perfectly poured, euphoria inducing, full bodied wonder drink known as Guinness will raise their glasses of the good stuff and toast to excellence.  I encourage everyone to venture out into the night and share in the splendor.


Brilliant!

Thursday Night Specials

Theres no better way to kick off the weekend than with a tortilla filled with butternut squash puree and toasted pumpkin seeds, topped with a goat cheese creama. Garnish that taco with a freshly squeezed lime margarita, beautiful weather, and the company of some of your best buds and you have an extremely fulfilling beginning of what is sure to be a great weekend. The Bourgeois Pig was rocking $3 Red Stripes and Harps. The Eldridge had 1/2 price martinis. I went with the classic dirty gin martini, extra olives and juice (it may or may not have tasted like a sweaty ball sack). The Sandbar was hosting a one in one out party with $2.50 tropical drinks. The Wheel was as expected, packed and expensive, but that why you go I suppose. In summation, a nice way to start a long weekend and a superb way to begin the spring season. I wish i had a better floater.
