Blind Bear specials for this week:
- Fried chicken sliders – Three hand-buttered chicken breast sliders topped with Asian pickles and spicy mayo, served with seasoned fries or Nate’s tots – 15
- Chocolate peanut butter brownie – Chocolate brownie topped with peanut butter, chocolate, white chocolate, and peanuts – 8
- There is no “Soup of the Week” this week, but rather a “Soup that’s Back to Stay” because they rolled out a new menu yesterday. Gerald’s potato soup is back! I bet that’ll get Butt Slut #1 up there. You can get it “loaded” for $1 more cup / $2 more bowl.
- Also, Tony’s greens are now an everyday menu item.
Y’all, I tried one of those fried chicken sliders yesterday, and it was DEE-LISH-US. You will never want Chick-fil-A again after eating Tony’s chicken sliders.
As for the new menu, it’s not a giant change. The other major addition that had previously been a special was the coffee-crusted NY strip steak, with a loaded baked potato and Tony’s greens for $28.
The Peabody Hotel has added a robot to its security team, WREG reports. I have one question, though: Where’s the mustache? I mean, what kind of security guard DOESN’T have a mustache???
