I was at the Saucer where Dos Equis Lager was the Fire Sale… and I had way too many of them.
While there, I received a text from the bartender at Kooky Canuck. “Come down, ur friends are here,” said the text. Unfortunately I had a full beer, and by the time I finished it I received word that they had left. “Well, come get food after you leave the Saucer,” texted the bartender.
It’s good to be wanted, and I will stop in Kooky very soon. However, before I even stepped out the door of my apartment pre-beer I had my stomach set on a West Coast Burger from Huey’s. I had one earlier this week, and tonight I wanted the same thing again, but as a turkey burger, with fries. When I walked in and ordered, the bartender asked, “Ranch instead of ketchup?” Which I had totally forgotten about, but that’s how I ordered the fries earlier in the week. Awesome suggestion.
It’s funny how we can be in the Downtown of a metro area of over a million people, and yet this is truly the place where everyone knows your name. I wouldn’t live anywhere else.
Thanks to Huey’s and Kooky for reminding me why I love this neighborhood so much.
