It’s a little after 3:30 AM. I can’t sleep, so I’m posting while I play online poker. Some seriously bad players on PokerStars tonight. I’ve made about $35. Drinking money for St. Pat’s.
Yesterday I went to the Majestic Grille to try one of the lunch specials they’re running all week for St. Patrick’s. I went with the beef and mushroom pie, made with Murphy’s Stout. Here’s a pic:
It was excellent. Tasty and very filling. They also have fish and chips and a Limerick ham sandwich all week. I’ve heard the fish and chips are not to be missed, so I’ll likely be back at least once more this week.
They’re doing dinner specials all week long as well, to celebrate Patrick’s Irish upbringing. Here’s what they’ve got:
- Filet Mignon with Jameson Whiskey Sauce, Colcannon Potatoes $29
- Grilled Lamb Chops, carrot & parsnip puree, apple jelly $28
- Crab Stuffed Trout, roasted and served with dill and lemon butter $23
Dinner specials are available 5 PM until close. All three sound great but I’m going to say what I’ve said many times before – the Majestic has the best filet in Downtown Memphis, so that is my recommendation. Mmmm… looks like I’m going to cash in a lot of my remaining Majestic gift cards this week.
Lunch today, however, will be the Silly Goose… $6 corned beef and cabbage. I’ll be back there around 5:30ish for their St. Patrick’s party, with dollar jello shots, $2 wells, $5 car bombs. There are also parties at the Flying Saucer, Calhoun’s, and Bardog Tavern… gonna play it by ear but will probably make it to at least one of those as well.
Dammit… just gave back $10 of my winnings. I had AQ and the flop came down 26Q so I raised… one of my opponents had 26 and rode it for all it was worth. That’s part of the game though. Gonna hit Publish and pay a little more attention to my hands. Coming later today: Upcoming concerts at the Hard Rock to benefit a very cool charity.
