Alcenia’s, the soul food restaurant just north of the I-40 overpass on North Main Street, is selling love-filled gift boxes. Each box comes with a jar of Alcenia’s famous apple butter, along with your choice of two of the following treats:
- Old-fashioned bread pudding
- Tea cakes
- Sweet potato pie
- Go-Go’s pecan pie
Tonight is the grand opening party at Esco.
Wiseacre releases its 2023 version of its Astronaut Status beer at 1 this afternoon.
Today is Cat Herders Day. Raise your glass if you’ve ever had a leadership position on a team that competed at BBQ Fest.
Speaking of which… $250,000 in prize money will be awarded at the new BBQ festival, to be organized by the people who bring us Mempho Fest, in Tom Lee Park the third weekend of May. The new festival’s grand champion will receive $50,000.
Today is also Underdog Day, a good day to hang out at Bardog’s downstairs bar. No nasty cigarettes down there.
Alexis Jade plays Momma’s tonight. 8 PM.
Hearing good things about the espresso martini at Curfew, which is made with premium products.
Sitting here at Bardog waiting on them to post today’s specials. Allie Cat says come entertain her. She’s mixing sugar cookie shots for the holidays.

I recommend you hang out at Bardog and harass Dani/Butt Slut #2 during the downtime. She loves hearing/smelling a good burp. If she’s impressed she’ll say “Ribbit.”
