Longtime readers of my blog know that every beer sold at a bar has a Value Drinking Index.
VDI = ounces * pct. ABV / price
The higher the VDI, the more bang for your drinking dollar.
I had AI agent Google Gemini research VDIs of beers at the Memphis Flying Saucer, leading to this chat. It’s quite interesting and illustrates how AI can be used outside of work.
On to today’s news…
Cordelia’s will have a Giving Grill 11-1 today – get a hot dog, chips, and pesto pasta salad for $5 with proceeds benefiting the Hospitality HUB.
Don’t forget! Beale Street St. Pat’s parade is at 2 today.
Remember, folks, holiday pub crawls whose organizers have a generic name (like Crawls R Fun) nearly always overpromise and disappoint.
Redline Cheer & Dance’s CheerChella is this weekend at the Renasant Convention Center.
A cocktail bar called Lost Art will open in the former Pearl’s Oyster House space.
The former food hall at 409 S. Main could turn into a hub for nonprofits.
Back tomorrow with more news.
