Got a question for my readers: Has anyone ordered a Lyft or Uber to take them through a drive-thru and then bring them back home? Yesterday I was seriously thinking about calling a Lyft and seeing if they would be willing to take me to the drive-through at the nearest Jack Pirtle’s, at 890 Thomas, then bring me back home. You think if I offered to buy them a two-piece for the time lost waiting in line, they’d be willing to do it? I’d still tip as I normally would. If anyone has done something like this, shoot me an email at paul@paulryburn.com and tell me your experience.
Monday was Pi Day, but today is 3:16 Day. Here’s a video of Steve Austin hitting a Stone Cold Stunner on Donald Trump.
Speaking of Trump, Mashable reports that the earliest he can win the nomination is late May. The earliest Ted Cruz can win is early June. The fact that the Republicans may make it through primary season without a candidate winning the necessary delegates is good news for their party, for perhaps they can then broker a nominee who is not a total ass clown like these two.
The stats are in for Black Restaurant Week in Memphis. 8 restaurants participated, there were 3135 patrons, sales were $85,000, and 8 jobs were created. Very well done indeed, and I bet those numbers grow in 2017.

Moody Ques: We have been officially accepted into the Atoka regional BBQ festival the first weekend in April. Also, Memphis in May mailed out team packets this week. These packets contain booth location and other pertinent information; I will get my eyes on the packet as soon as possible and share information on the team website.
That’s it for now. I’m going to lead off at the Silly Goose tonight if anyone wants to talk BBQ. Second stop undecided, either trivia at the Blind Bear or bingo at the Brass Door. That will be a game-time decision.
