The federal government requires that I disclose when I receive compensation in any form for events I mention on the blog. Therefore, I must disclose that I received the following for judging the Majestic Grille’s National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation costume contest/tacky sweater contest:
(Actually, there were two more PBRs which didn’t get included in the picture.) Christmas ham, potatoes, and green bean casserole. Pretty fine compensation if you ask me.
The restaurant also gave me this glass, a replica of the egg nog glasses used in the movie. For some reason I want to put Jager in it. This could spell trouble.
This year I was pleased to find I had a co-judge, the lovely Beth who is part of the Sunday Fun Day crew. Together we walked around the Majestic and picked the best of 25 tacky Christmas sweaters. Here are a couple of them:
The Majestic has one night left in its “Supper and a Movie” series, which will be tomorrow night, Sunday, December 19. At 7 PM they will show It’s a Wonderful Life (1946) starring James Stewart and Donna Reed. They’ll have a dinner special consisting of antipasto – stuffed cherry peppers, warm grilled mushrooms, prosciutto & arugula, beef and three cheese lasagna, Caesar salad, and apple strudel with cinnamon ice cream. Reservations are recommended – call 901-522-8555 to make them.
Thanks to the Majestic for having me Thursday night. I enjoyed judging again and the food was delicious.
